The Most Used Rodent Models in Home Cage Monitoring

Abstract Home cage monitoring (HCM) offers a transformative approach to understanding rodent behavior and physiology in biomedical research. This chapter reviews the most commonly used mouse and rat models in HCM. Mice, particularly the C57BL/6 inbred strain, dominate the field due to their genetic homogeneity, ease of breeding, and ...

Astrocytes Coordinate Neurovascular Coupling During Prolonged Sensory Demand via AQP4/TRPA1/BEST1/D‐Serine Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuronal activation leads to astrocytic transient volume changes, activating transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channels, leading to Ca2+ influx. Activation of TRPA1 causes the release of D‐serine through BEST1. Finally, the augmented extracellular levels of D‐serine boost neuronal activity by binding GluN1‐containing NMDARs, leading to CBV

Retrospective Grid Cells in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex Encode Past Paths During Spatial Navigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Retrospective grid cells are identified in the medial entorhinal cortex, with spatial firing patterns that become most grid‐like when activity is projected onto recently traversed locations. Their coding loses spatial precision in darkness and is disrupted during assisted movement, indicating that entorhinal representations incorporate recent path ...

Restores Aβ Clearance by Overcoming PCSK9–LRP1 Dysregulation and TRIB3‐Mediated Autophagy Blockade in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PCSK9 upregulation in cerebrovascular endothelial cells and microglia destabilizes the Aβ transporter LRP1, while TRIB3‐associated autophagy blockade further limits intracellular Aβ degradation. A RAP‐modified tea‐polyphenol nanoparticle co‐delivers siPCSK9 and siTRIB3 to restore LRP1‐mediated Aβ efflux and autophagy‐dependent degradation, reducing Aβ ...

PAW, a cost-effective and open-source alternative to commercial rodent running wheels

HardwareX
Voluntary wheel running is a common measure of general activity in many rodent models across neuroscience and physiology. However, current commercial wheel monitoring systems can be cost-prohibitive to many investigators, with many of these systems ...

Deficient Sleep in Mouse Models of Fragile X Syndrome

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
In patients with fragile X syndrome (FXS), sleep problems are commonly observed but are not well characterized. In animal models of FXS (dfmr1 and Fmr1 knockout (KO)/Fxr2 heterozygote) circadian rhythmicity is affected, but sleep per se has not been ...

Longitudinal Awake Mouse Brain Imaging Using Functional Ultrasound and Functional Ultrasound Localization Microscopy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Awake longitudinal multimodal ultrasound imaging integrates functional ultrasound (fUS), ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM), and functional ULM (fULM) to characterize cerebrovascular function, microvascular architecture, and flow dynamics within the same animals over time.

Neonatal Sevoflurane Exposure Induces Long‐Term Cognitive Impairment via Epigenetically Mediated MMP9 Activation and Perineuronal Net Disruption in the Hippocampal CA2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hippocampal CA2 perineuronal nets ensheathing excitatory pyramidal neurons are selectively vulnerable to repeated neonatal sevoflurane exposure. Epigenetic upregulation of MMP9 via reduced H3K27me3 disrupts PNN integrity, impairs BDNF–TrkB signaling, and causes synaptic protein loss and dendritic spine deficits, leading to persistent social and spatial

Drug Repurposing for Treating NCOR‐Related Intellectual Disability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An autism‐associated NCOR1 heterozygous mutation upregulates NRGs and activates NRG backward signaling in hypothalamic GABAergic neurons in mouse models, leading to Gabra2 downregulation and cognitive deficits, which can be therapeutically targeted by repurposing FDA‐approved drugs.

A Neutrophil Membrane‐Encapsulated Pd/hCeO2 Nanoformulation for Alleviating Age‐Dependent Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports a neutrophil membrane‐encapsulated Pd/hCeO2 nanozyme (PCN) for targeted treatment of perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) in aged mice. PCN inhibits glycolysis‐driven microglial activation and neuroinflammation, improves mitochondrial respiration, and maintains blood‐brain barrier integrity and synaptic function, ultimately ...
