Effects of Electrical Stimulation of NAc Afferents on VP Neurons’ Tonic Firing

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Afferents from the nucleus accumbens (NAc) are a major source of input into the ventral pallidum (VP). Research reveals that these afferents are GABAergic, however, stimulation of these afferents induces both excitatory and inhibitory responses within ...

Sodium-activated potassium channels shape peripheral auditory function and activity of the primary auditory neurons in mice [PDF]

, 2019
Potassium (K+) channels shape the response properties of neurons. Although enormous progress has been made to characterize K+ channels in the primary auditory neurons, the molecular identities of many of these channels and their contributions to hearing ...

PVNCRF Neurons Regulate Migraine‐Like Allodynia by Activating CRFR2 on Spinal Trigeminal Caudalis Glutamatergic Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Paraventricular CRF neurons in the hypothalamus project to glutamatergic neurons of the spinal trigeminal caudal nucleus, enhancing neuronal activation and CRFR2 signaling. This pathway increases CRF release and excitatory drive, promoting central sensitization and migraine‐related behaviors. Targeting the PVN–SP5C circuit provides a potential strategy

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 ...

CTBPro: A Next‐Generation Cholera Toxin Subunit B‐Based Neuroanatomical Tracer With Superior Brightness, Stability, and Sensitivity for Enhanced Neural Circuit Mapping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CTBPro is a next‐generation cholera toxin B–based tracer engineered by fusing CTB to the ultra‐stable fluorescent protein mBaojin. Exhibiting markedly enhanced molar brightness, CTBPro enables high‐fidelity neuronal labeling across multiple administration routes.

In vivo patch-clamp recordings reveal distinct subthreshold signatures and threshold dynamics of midbrain dopamine neurons

Nature Communications, 2020
The in vivo firing patterns of ventral midbrain dopamine neurons are controlled by afferent and intrinsic activity. The authors identified biophysical membrane potential signatures associated with distinct in vivo firing patterns in whole-cell recordings

Circuit dissection of the role of somatostatin in itch and pain [PDF]

, 2018
Stimuli that elicit itch are detected by sensory neurons that innervate the skin. This information is processed by the spinal cord; however, the way in which this occurs is still poorly understood.

Depletion of p75NTR in Schwann Cells Driven by Inflammation Mediates Cutaneous Pain in Psoriasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psoriasis‐like inflammation induces proliferation and molecular remodeling of cutaneous Schwann cells, marked by reduced p75NTR and increased NGF expression. IL‐17A promotes this process, whereas Schwann cell‐specific p75NTR overexpression alleviates cutaneous pain in vivo.

Learning arbitrary functions with spike-timing dependent plasticity learning rule [PDF]

, 2005
A neural network model based on spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STOP) learning rule, where afferent neurons will excite both the target neuron and interneurons that in turn project to the target neuron, is applied to the tasks of learning AND and XOR ...
