Developmental Markers Expressed in Neocortical Layers Are Differentially Exhibited in Olfactory Cortex. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Neurons in the cerebral cortex stratify on the basis of their time of origin, axonal terminations and the molecular identities assigned during early development.

Characterizing functional pathways of the human olfactory system

eLife, 2019
The central processing pathways of the human olfactory system are not fully understood. The olfactory bulb projects directly to a number of cortical brain structures, but the distinct networks formed by projections from each of these structures to the ...

Effective Connectivity in the Human Brain for Sour Taste, Retronasal Smell, and Combined Flavour

Foods, 2021
The anterior insula and rolandic operculum are key regions for flavour perception in the human brain; however, it is unclear how taste and congruent retronasal smell are perceived as flavours.

Amphetamine administration into the ventral striatum facilitates behavioral interaction with unconditioned visual signals in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundAdministration of psychomotor stimulants like amphetamine facilitates behavior in the presence of incentive distal stimuli, which have acquired the motivational properties of primary rewards through associative learning.

Olfactory and cortical projections to bulbar and hippocampal adult-born neurons

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
New neurons are continually generated in the subependymal layer of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of dentate gyrus during adulthood.

Early life stress exacerbates behavioural and neuronal alterations in adolescent male mice lacking methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2)

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
The methyl-CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) encodes an epigenetic transcriptional regulator implicated in neuronal plasticity. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are the primary cause of Rett syndrome and, to a lesser degree, of other ...

Fatty acid-binding protein 5 differentially impacts dopamine signaling independent of sex and environment

Addiction Neuroscience, 2023
Epidermal/brain fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5) plays an integral role in the intracellular trafficking of bioactive lipids/endocannabinoids and the subsequent initiation of cellular cascades affecting cannabinoid and dopamine (DA) systems.

Amygdaloid projections to the ventral striatum in mice: Direct and indirect chemosensory inputs to the brain reward system

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
Rodents constitute good models for studying the neural basis of socio-sexual behaviour. Recent findings in mice have revealed the molecular identity of the some pheromonal molecules triggering intersexual attraction.

Anti-Dopamine Receptor 2 Antibody-Positive Encephalitis in Adolescent

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Autoimmune encephalitic syndromes include mutism, somnolence, movement disorder, and behavioral, or psychiatric symptoms. When paired with bilateral basal ganglia lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, these support the diagnosis of basal ganglia ...

Ventral striatal islands of Calleja neurons bidirectionally mediate depression-like behaviors in mice

Nature Communications, 2023
The ventral striatum is a reward center implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. It contains islands of Calleja, clusters of dopamine D3 receptor-expressing granule cells, predominantly in the olfactory tubercle (OT). These OT D3 neurons regulate
