Microglia regulation of synaptic plasticity and learning and memory
Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system. Microglia possess varied morphologies and functions. Under normal physiological conditions, microglia mainly exist in a resting state and constantly monitor their microenvironment and ...

Synaptic plasticity and mental health: methods, challenges and opportunities
Activity-dependent synaptic plasticity is a ubiquitous property of the nervous system that allows neurons to communicate and change their connections as a function of past experiences.

LRP4 is required for the olfactory association task in the piriform cortex
Background Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (LRP4) plays a critical role in the central nervous system (CNS), including hippocampal synaptic plasticity, maintenance of excitatory synaptic transmission, fear regulation, as well as long ...

Impaired synaptic incorporation of AMPA receptors in a mouse model of fragile X syndrome
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common monogenetic cause of inherited intellectual disability and autism in humans. One of the well-characterized molecular phenotypes of Fmr1 KO mice, a model of FXS, is increased translation of synaptic proteins ...

Burst-dependent synaptic plasticity can coordinate learning in hierarchical circuits
Synaptic plasticity is believed to be a key physiological mechanism for learning. It is well established that it depends on pre- and postsynaptic activity.

Microglia regulate synaptic development and plasticity
Synapses are fundamental structures of neural circuits that transmit information between neurons. Thus, the process of neural circuit formation via proper synaptic connections shapes the basis of brain functions and animal behavior. Synapses continuously

Subcellular RNA-seq for the Analysis of the Dendritic and Somatic Transcriptomes of Single Neurons
In neurons, local translation in dendritic and axonal compartments allows for the fast and on-demand modification of the local proteome. As the last few years have witnessed dramatic advancements in our appreciation of the brain’s neuronal diversity, it ...
