HIPP neurons in the dentate gyrus mediate the cholinergic modulation of background context memory salience

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Cholinergic neuromodulation in the hippocampus controls the salience of background context memory acquired in the presence of elemental stimuli predicting an aversive reinforcement. With pharmacogenetic inhibition we here demonstrate that hilar perforant

Memory Gate Controlled by Contexts: Potential Key Structure That Could Link Small Associative Failures With Severe Cognitive Disorders

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Memory gate (MG) hypothesis assumes a neural structure that connects inputs to appropriate contexts. Panel A shows an input (green) that, in the MG, does not match the context (red): memory does not recognize it. Panel B shows that, in the MG, the context (green) matches the input: memory recognizes the pattern.

Status Epilepticus Induced Spontaneous Dentate Gyrus Spikes: In Vivo Current Source Density Analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The dentate gyrus is considered to function as an inhibitory gate limiting excitatory input to the hippocampus. Following status epilepticus (SE), this gating function is reduced and granule cells become hyper-excitable.

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Modulatory effects of nitric oxide-active drugs on the anticonvulsant activity of lamotrigine in an experimental model of partial complex epilepsy in the rat

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background The effects induced by administering the anticonvulsant lamotrigine, the preferential inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase 7-nitroindazole and the precursor of NO synthesis L-arginine, alone or in combination, on an experimental model ...

Radiation-induced lowered neurogenesis associated with shortened latency of inhibitory avoidance memory response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The neural system is less sensitive to radiation than other late-responding organs and tissues such as the kidney and lung. The generation of new neurons in the adult mammalian brain has been documented in several works.

Nitric Oxide Regulates Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus following Seizures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hippocampal neurogenesis is changed by brain injury. When neuroinflammation accompanies injury, activation of resident microglial cells promotes the release of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species like nitric oxide (NO).

Serotonergic Modulators in Alzheimer's Disease: A Hope in the Hopeless Condition

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide. AD is a progressive brain neurodegenerative disease due to genetic and environmental factors that induce a progressive accumulation of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein and extracellular amyloid protein (Aβ).

Estradiol and GPER Activation Differentially Affect Cell Proliferation but Not GPER Expression in the Hippocampus of Adult Female Rats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Estradiol increases cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of the female rodent but it is not known whether the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), a membrane receptor, is involved in this process, nor whether there are regional differences in ...

ARC Expands the DAAM1 Microexon‐Mediated Actin–RHOA/ROCK Interplay

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Actin cytoskeleton and its dynamics play a crucial role in synaptic function, influencing dendritic spines' structural and functional plasticity. Recent findings unveiled the significance of alternative splicing of a neural‐specific microexon in DAAM1 in modulating actin's role in synaptic processes.
