Leveraging Fiber Photometry to Decipher Neural Circuits Underlying Anxiety in Mice

open access: yesFundamental &Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Anxiety disorders rank among the most prevalent mental health conditions worldwide, significantly affecting patients' lives. They are frequently comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, often exacerbating their severity. Current pharmacological treatments; selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and benzodiazepines, remain limited in

Developmental Requirement of Homeoprotein Otx2 for Specific Habenulo-Interpeduncular Subcircuits

open access: yes, 2019
International audienceThe habenulo-interpeduncular system (HIPS) is now recognized as a critical circuit modulating aversion, reward, and social behavior. There is evidence that dysfunction of this circuit leads to psychiatric disorders.

Brain asymmetry is encoded at the level of axon terminal morphology

open access: yesNeural Development, 2008
Background Functional lateralization is a conserved feature of the central nervous system (CNS). However, underlying left-right asymmetries within neural circuitry and the mechanisms by which they develop are poorly described.

The Brain of the African Wild Dog. VI. The Motor System

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 7, July 2025.
Neurofilament H‐immunostained coronal section through the rostral portion of the hypoglossal nucleus of the African wild dog brain. Note the presence of a distinct fascicle of protoplasmic commissural dendrites between the nuclei. This feature may be related to complex control of the tongue and vocalizations in this socially complex species.

The habenulo-interpeduncular and mammillothalamic tracts: early developed fiber tracts in the human fetal diencephalon

open access: yes, 2014
Purpose: The habenulo-interpeduncular (HI) and mammillothalamic (MT) tracts are phylogenetically ancient. The clinical relevance of these tracts has recently received attention. In this work, we map the anatomy the developing HI and MT.

Gpr149 is involved in energy homeostasis in the male mouse [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
GPR149 is an orphan receptor about which little is known. Accordingly, in the present study, we mapped the tissue expression of Gpr149 in mice using three complementary approaches: quantitative PCR, in situ hybridization, and a newly generated Gpr149-Cre

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 1251-1274, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

Functional Diversity of Serotonin Neurons in the Dorsal and Median Raphe Nuclei in Emotional Responses

open access: yesNeuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 45, Issue 2, June 2025.
Recent advances challenge the traditional view of serotonin as a uniform neuromodulatory system, revealing the functional diversity of serotonin neurons in raphe nuclei, including the dorsal (DRN) and median raphe nuclei (MRN). This review highlights how distinct serotonergic subpopulations exert opposing effects on emotional regulation, necessitating ...

Habenula and thalamus cell transplants restore normal sleep behaviors disrupted by denervation of the interpeduncular nucleus

open access: yes, 1992
The preceding companion study (Eckenrode et al., 1992) showed that cell suspension transplants of fetal habenula cells placed near the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) following lesions of the fasciculus retroflexus (FR) restore the normal pattern of ...

GPR139 and Dopamine D2 Receptor Co-express in the Same Cells of the Brain and May Functionally Interact

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
GPR139, a Gq-coupled receptor that is activated by the essential amino acids L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine, is predominantly expressed in the brain and pituitary.
