Oxytocin‐Mediate Modulation of Splenic Immunosuppression in Chronic Social Stress Through Neuroendocrine Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic social stress elevates oxytocin levels, leading to immunosuppression by enhancing regulatory T‐cell activity and promoting anti‐inflammatory macrophage polarization in the spleen. Blocking oxytocin signaling reverses these effects but worsens stress‐induced behavioral disorders and reduces survival rates. This highlights oxytocin's dual role in

Cell type-specific long-range connections of basal forebrain circuit

eLife, 2016
The basal forebrain (BF) plays key roles in multiple brain functions, including sleep-wake regulation, attention, and learning/memory, but the long-range connections mediating these functions remain poorly characterized.

Acetylcholine and cholinergic receptors [PDF]

Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 2019
This review provides a distillate of the advances in knowledge about the neurotransmitter functions of acetylcholine over the 50-year period between 1967 and 2017, together with incremental information about the cognate nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and some brief comments on possible advances in the near future.

In Vivo Cytosolic Delivery of Biomolecules into Neurons for Super‐Resolution Imaging and Genome Modification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The N1 peptide specifically targets neurons, enabling cytosolic delivery of fluorescent dyes and proteins for super‐resolution imaging and functional genetic modification. Abstract Efficient delivery of biomolecules into neurons has significant impacts on therapeutic applications in the central nervous system (CNS) and fundamental neuroscience research.

Specific Basal Forebrain–Cortical Cholinergic Circuits Coordinate Cognitive Operations

Journal of Neuroscience, 2018
Based on recent molecular genetics, as well as functional and quantitative anatomical studies, the basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic projections, once viewed as a diffuse system, are emerging as being remarkably specific in connectivity.

Targeted Intervention Strategies for Maternal–Offspring Transmission of Christensenellaceae in Pigs via a Deep Learning Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study deciphers maternal‐driven microbial transmission in pigs using a deep learning model (maternal–offspring microbial transmission model), identifying Christensenellaceae R‐7 group as a key transmitted taxon. Filtered galacto‐oligosaccharides‐targeted Christensenellaceae R‐7 group alters offspring microbial functions via maternal ...

An essential role of acetylcholine-glutamate synergy at habenular synapses in nicotine dependence

eLife, 2015
A great deal of interest has been focused recently on the habenula and its critical role in aversion, negative-reward and drug dependence. Using a conditional mouse model of the ACh-synthesizing enzyme choline acetyltransferase (Chat), we report that ...

Nucleus Accumbens Cholinergic Interneurons Oppose Cue-Motivated Behavior

Biological Psychiatry, 2019
Background Environmental reward-predictive stimuli provide a major source of motivation for adaptive reward pursuit behavior. This cue-motivated behavior is known to be mediated by the nucleus accumbens core (NAc). The cholinergic interneurons in the NAc

Gain-of-function mutations in the UNC-2/CaV2α channel lead to excitation-dominant synaptic transmission in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2019
Mutations in pre-synaptic voltage gated calcium channels can lead to familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1). While mammalian studies indicate that the migraine brain is hyperexcitable due to enhanced excitation or reduced inhibition, the molecular ...

Cholinergic Degeneration and Cognitive Function in Early GBA1‐Related Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The phenotype of patients with Parkinson's disease carrying GBA1 variants (GBA‐PD) suggest similarities to symptomatology associated with early cholinergic system degeneration. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the clinical features and the cholinergic innervation pattern in patients with early GBA‐PD versus those without the GBA1 ...
