Complex events initiated by individual spikes in the human cerebral cortex.

PLoS Biology, 2008
Synaptic interactions between neurons of the human cerebral cortex were not directly studied to date. We recorded the first dataset, to our knowledge, on the synaptic effect of identified human pyramidal cells on various types of postsynaptic neurons and

Targeting ROCK2 to Restore Epileptic Synaptic Networks via Mitophagy Activation: Insights from Translational Imaging of SV2A In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A PET imaging and transcriptomics, this study identifies Rho‐associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) as a critical regulator of synaptic network dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy. Pharmacological ROCK2 inhibition restores synaptic density and enhances mitophagy, thereby reducing seizures and neuronal damage.

Targeting Histamine H4 Receptor in the Rostral Ventromedial Medulla to Relieve Hypertension

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
H4R and its downstream TRPV1 channel mediate the excitatory effect of TMN histaminergic afferent inputs on GABAergic sympathoinhibitory neurons in RVMM. Intranasal delivery of selective H4R agonist VUF 8430 suppresses renal sympathetic outflow and elicits sustained depressor and bradycardia responses in SHRs and CUMS‐induced hypertensive rats ...

Glycine and GABAA receptors mediate tonic and phasic inhibitory processes that contribute to prepulse inhibition in the goldfish startle network

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015
Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is understood as an inhibitory process that attenuates sensory flow during early stages (20-1000ms) of information processing. Here, we applied in vivo electrophysiology and pharmacology to determine if prepulse inhibition (PPI)

Motor Learning Mechanism on the Neuron Scale

, 2014
Based on existing data, we wish to put forward a biological model of motor system on the neuron scale. Then we indicate its implications in statistics and learning.

Allele‐Specific Regulation of PAXIP1‐AS1 by SMC3/CEBPB at rs112651172 in Psychiatric Disorders Drives Synaptic and Behavioral Dysfunctions in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a functional noncoding variant, rs112651172 (C/G), that drives allele‐specific expression of PAXIP1‐AS1 in monozygotic twin pairs discordant for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The risk G allele enhances CEBPB binding, leading to lncRNA upregulation, CNTNAP3 derepression, and synaptic and behavioral deficits in mice.

Morphine Differentially Alters the Synaptic and Intrinsic Properties of D1R- and D2R-Expressing Medium Spiny Neurons in the Nucleus Accumbens

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2019
Exposure to opioids reshapes future reward and motivated behaviors partially by altering the functional output of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the nucleus accumbens shell.

Chronobiology of Epilepsy [PDF]

, 2008
A fine balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition governs the physiological state of the brain. It has been hypothesized that when this balance is lost as a result of excessive excitation or reduced inhibition, pathological states such as ...

Comparative Cochlear Transcriptomics in Echolocating Bats and Mouse Reveals Hras as Protector Against Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...

Molecular Specialization of GABAergic Synapses on the Soma and Axon in Cortical and Hippocampal Circuit Function and Dysfunction

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
The diversity of inhibitory interneurons allows for the coordination and modulation of excitatory principal cell firing. Interneurons that release GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) onto the soma and axon exert powerful control by virtue of proximity to the site
