Macrophages Mediate Mesoscale Brain Mechanical Homeostasis
We investigated the role of infiltrating immune cells in sculpting the developing brain. Using Brillouin microscopy and active microrheology, we found microglia actively maintain tissue viscoelasticity. Moreover, colony stimulating factor one receptor (CSF1R)‐driven stromal remodeling alters brain mechanics in vivo. These findings link immune activity,

Metformin Restores Mitochondrial Function and Neurogenesis in POLG Patient‐Derived Brain Organoids
Patient‐derived POLG‐mutant cortical organoids reveal neuronal subtype‐specific mitochondrial and synaptic defects, with dopaminergic neurons most affected. Metformin treatment restores neuronal identity, mitochondrial function, and excitability, increased mtDNA maintenance, and reprogrammed metabolism via TCA and redox pathways.

Comparison of gene expression profile in embryonic mesencephalon and neuronal primary cultures.
In the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) an important contingent of dopaminergic neurons are localized in the substantia nigra and in the ventral tegmental area of the ventral midbrain.

Early- and late-migrating cranial neural crest cell populations have equivalent developmental potential in vivo [PDF]
We present the first in vivo study of the long-term fate and potential of early-migrating and late-migrating mesencephalic neural crest cell populations, by performing isochronic and heterochronic quail-to-chick grafts.

Human midbrain precursors activate the expected developmental genetic program and differentiate long-term to functional A9 dopamine neurons in vitro. Enhancement by Bcl-XL [PDF]
Understanding the molecular programs of the generation of human dopaminergic neurons (DAn) from their ventral mesencephalic (VM) precursors is of key importance for basic studies, progress in cell therapy, drug screening and pharmacology in the context ...

Isthmus organizer and regionalization of the mesencephalon and metencephalon
The brain vesicles that are formed at an early stage of neural development are the fundamentals of the brain plan. Heterotopic transplantation revealed that the diencephalon could change its fate when juxtaposed to the isthmus (mes-metencephalic boundary), which indicated that the isthmus functions as an organizer for the mesencephalon and ...

Impulsivity is a symptom across multiple psychiatric disorders, yet its neural basis remains elusive. This study shows that the NMDAR antagonist MK‐801 elevates dopamine release and disrupts neuronal selectivity in the nucleus accumbens, leading to impulsive behavior.
