Olfactory deficits in aging and Alzheimer’s—spotlight on inhibitory interneurons
Frontiers in NeuroscienceCognitive function in healthy aging and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) correlates to olfactory performance. Aging and disease progression both show marked olfactory deficits in humans and rodents.

Development of Cortical Interneurons [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacology, 2014 Inhibitory local circuit neurons (LCNs), often called interneurons, have vital roles in the development and function of cortical networks. Their inhibitory influences regulate both the excitability of cortical projection neurons on the level of individual cells, and the synchronous activity of projection neuron ensembles that appear to be a neural ...

Developmental, Neuroanatomical and Cellular Expression of Genes Causing Dystonia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders, with variants in multiple genes identified as causative. However, an understanding of which developmental stages, brain regions, and cell types are most relevant is crucial for developing relevant disease models and therapeutics.

A quantitative study of neurochemically-defined populations of inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn of the mouse spinal cord [PDF]
, 2017 Around a quarter of neurons in laminae I-II of the dorsal horn are inhibitory interneurons. These play an important role in modulating somatosensory information, including that perceived as pain or itch.

Epilepsy‐Associated Variants of a Single SCN1A Codon Exhibit Divergent Functional Properties
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in SCN1A, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.1, are associated with multiple epilepsy syndromes exhibiting a range of clinical severity. SCN1A variants are reported in different syndromes, including Dravet syndrome, which is associated with loss‐of‐function, whereas neonatal/infantile‐onset ...

The Perineuronal ‘Safety’ Net? Perineuronal Net Abnormalities in Neurological Disorders
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Perineuronal nets (PNN) are extracellular matrix (ECM) assemblies that preferentially ensheath parvalbumin (PV) expressing interneurons. Converging evidence indicates that PV cells and PNN are impaired in a variety of neurological disorders.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We present ultrathin flexible transparent electrodes through iCVD‐enabled molecular control of 10 nm gold films on poly(dimethylaminomethylstyrene). In vivo validation demonstrated photoelectric artifact reduction vs. opaque electrodes and preservation of natural neural dynamics.

Fear Learning Regulates Cortical Sensory Representations by Suppressing Habituation
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018 Projections from auditory cortex to the amygdala are thought to contribute to the induction of auditory fear learning. In addition, fear conditioning has been found to enhance cortical responses to conditioned tones, suggesting that cortical plasticity ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes the roles of key central nervous system cell types, the extracellular matrix, and the blood‐brain barrier in neuroinflammation, and their integration into diverse 3D culture systems. It examines major incorporation strategies, including direct co‐culture, hydrogel encapsulation, transwell migration assays, and bioprinting ...
