Social Stimulus Causes Aberrant Activation of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex in a Mouse Model With Autism-Like Behaviors

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2018
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly prevalent and genetically heterogeneous brain disorder. Developing effective therapeutic interventions requires knowledge of the brain regions that malfunction and how they malfunction during ASD-relevant ...

Oxidative stress-driven parvalbumin interneuron impairment as a common mechanism in models of schizophrenia

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2017
Parvalbumin inhibitory interneurons (PVIs) are crucial for maintaining proper excitatory/inhibitory balance and high-frequency neuronal synchronization.

Eliminating the VGlut2-Dependent Glutamatergic Transmission of Parvalbumin-Expressing Neurons Leads to Deficits in Locomotion and Vocalization, Decreased Pain Sensitivity, and Increased Dominance

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
The calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) is a recognized marker of short-axon GABA-ergic neurons in the cortex and the hippocampus. However in addition, PV is expressed by excitatory, glutamatergic neurons in various areas of the brain and spinal ...

Unique contributions of parvalbumin and cholinergic interneurons in organizing striatal networks during movement

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2019
Striatal parvalbumin (PV) and cholinergic interneurons (CHIs) are poised to play major roles in behavior by coordinating the networks of medium spiny cells that relay motor output. However, the small numbers and scattered distribution of these cells have

Gradient of Parvalbumin- and Somatostatin-Expressing Interneurons Across Cingulate Cortex Is Differentially Linked to Aggression and Sociability in BALB/cJ Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2019
Successfully navigating social interactions requires the precise and balanced integration of social and environmental cues. When such flexible information integration fails, maladaptive behavioral patterns arise, including excessive aggression, empathy ...

Pre-frontal parvalbumin interneurons in schizophrenia: a meta-analysis of post-mortem studies

open access: yesJournal of neural transmission, 2019
Parvalbumin interneurons are fast-spiking GABAergic neurons that provide inhibitory control of cortical and subcortical circuits and are thought to be a key locus of the pathophysiology underlying schizophrenia.

Opposed hemodynamic responses following increased excitation and parvalbumin-based inhibition

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 2020
Understanding cellular contributions to hemodynamic activity is essential for interpreting blood-based brain mapping signals. Optogenetic studies examining cell-specific influences on local hemodynamics have reported that excitatory activity results in ...

Cell-type-specific modulation of neocortical activity by basal forebrain Input

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013
Activation of the cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain (BF) desynchronizes cortical activity and enhances sensory processing during arousal and attention.

Parvalbumin interneuron in the ventral hippocampus functions as a discriminator in social memory

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Recent studies have identified the hippocampal projection neurons and related pathways that encode and keep social information about familiar conspecifics. On the other side of the coin, however, the neural mechanism for animals to determine

Cortical Somatostatin Neurons Regulate Seizure Susceptibility via MINAR1/Gαs–cAMP Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study identifies MINAR1 as a novel regulator of cortical interneuron excitability and seizure susceptibility. MINAR1 is preferentially expressed in SST+ interneurons. Genetic ablation of MINAR1 leads to seizure hypersensitivity, reduced SST+ neuron excitability, and impaired Gαs–cAMP signaling, disrupting the E/I balance.
