Compulsive Social Behavior Emerges after Selective Ablation of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons [PDF]
, 2017 The mechanisms underlying social dysfunction in neuropsychiatric conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome (TS) remain uncertain. Dysfunctions in basal ganglia, including reduced number of striatal cholinergic interneurons

Disruption of Interneuron Development [PDF]
Epilepsia, 2005 Summary: Disruption of gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABAergic) interneuron development during the embryonic and early postnatal periods can have profound neurological and behavioral consequences. Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) has been identified as an important molecular cue that may guide the movement of interneurons from their ...

mGluR5 in ECCCK to BLA Circuit Modulates Depressive‐Like Phenotypes through CCK Signaling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Dysregulation of mGluR5 and CCK signaling contributes to major depressive disorder, yet circuit‐level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the ECCCK→BLA pathway is identified as a critical regulator of affective behavior. mGluR5 modulates synaptic function and CCK signaling within this circuit, controlling stress susceptibility and depressive‐like states ...

Expression of gastrin-releasing peptide by excitatory interneurons in the mouse superficial dorsal horn [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and its receptor have been shown to play an important role in the sensation of itch. However, although GRP immunoreactivity has been detected in the spinal dorsal horn, there is debate about whether this ...

PAIR: Reconstructing Single‐Cell Open‐Chromatin Landscapes for Transcription Factor Regulome Mapping
Advanced Science, EarlyView.scATAC‐seq analysis is often constrained by limited sequencing depth, extreme sparsity, and pervasive technical missingness. PAIR is a probabilistic framework that restores scATAC‐seq accessibility profiles by directly modeling the native cell–peak bipartite structure of chromatin accessibility.

Lhx6 regulates the migration of cortical interneurons from the ventral telencephalon but does not specify their GABA phenotype [PDF]
, 2004 The LIM homeodomain family of transcription factors is involved in many processes in the developing CNS, ranging from cell fate specification to connectivity.

Noninvasive Focal Gene Delivery into the Cerebellum of Non‐Human Primates using Focused Ultrasound
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Focal and non‐invasive viral vector delivery in non‐human primates remains a major challenge in translational neuroscience. Low‐intensity focused ultrasound was used to transiently open the blood–brain barrier and enable targeted gene delivery to the cerebellum.
