Striatal GABAergic microcircuits are critical for motor function, yet their properties remain enigmatic due to difficulties in targeting striatal interneurons electrophysiological analysis. Here, we use Lhx6-GFP transgenic mice identify and investigate regulation of direct- indirect-pathway medium spiny neurons (MSNs). We find that the two major interneuron populations, persistent low-threshold spiking (PLTS) fast (FS) interneurons, differ substantially excitatory inputs inhibitory outputs....

Long-term memory relies on modulation of synaptic connections in response to experience. This plasticity involves trafficking AMPA receptors (AMPAR) and alteration spine morphology. Arc, a gene induced by activity, mediates the endocytosis is required for both long-term homeostatic plasticity. We found that Arc increases density regulates morphology increasing proportion thin spines. Furthermore, specifically reduces surface GluR1 internalization at spines, mutants fail facilitate AMPAR do...

Reelin regulates nervous system development and modulates synaptic plasticity in the adult brain. Several findings suggest that alterations signaling may contribute to neuronal dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cell surface receptors for Reelin, including integrins very-low-density lipoprotein receptor/apolipoprotein E2 receptor, be targets of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides presumed play key roles pathogenesis AD. also extent tau phosphorylation. Finally, increased amounts...

Most gamma-aminobutyric acidergic interneurons in the neocortex and hippocampus are derived from subpallial progenitors medial ganglionic eminence migrate tangentially to pallium, where they differentiate into a diverse set of neuronal subtypes. Toward elucidating mechanisms underlying generation interneuron diversity, we have studied mice expression patterns differentiating mature neocortical 8 transcription factors, including 6 homeobox (Dlx1, Dlx2, Dlx5, Arx, Lhx6, Cux2), 1 basic...

Previous studies suggested that cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) at aspartate residue 664 by caspases may play a key role in pathogenesis Alzheimer's disease. Mutation this site (D664A) prevents caspase and generation C-terminal APP fragments C31 Jcasp, which have been proposed to mediate amyloid-beta (Abeta) neurotoxicity. Here we compared human transgenic mice with (B254) without (J20) D664A mutation battery tests. Before Abeta deposition, hAPP-B254 hAPP-J20 had comparable...

An effective process for the green and rapid synthesis of biologically active polysubstituted pyrroles 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles derivatives using Cu@imine/Fe3O4 MNPs catalyst under solvent-free conditions is explained. This showed high reactivity a set different imidazole appropriate reaction short times. Moreover, was also recycled reused six runs with no considerable reduction in yields. Compared to reported procedures, this method consistently demonstrates advantages low...

Aberrant excitatory neuronal activity and compensatory inhibitory mechanisms may play an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Human amyloid precursor protein (hAPP) transgenic mice with high levels of amyloid-β peptides the brain develop AD-like abnormalities, including cognitive deficits depletions synaptic activity-related proteins dentate gyrus, a region critically involved learning memory.

Previous studies have suggested that cleavage of APP at aspartate residue 664 by caspase(s) may play a role in the pathogenesis AD. Mutation this site (D664A) prevents caspase and generation C-terminal fragment C31. Recently, D664A-mutant hAPP transgenic mice were reported to lack behavioral, electrophysiological, biochemical abnormalities typically seen lacking mutation.

Why distinct neurodegenerative disorders affect specific neuronal populations is largely unknown. Granule cells of the dentate gyrus are particularly vulnerable to Aβ-induced molecular and functional impairments. Aβ may exert these effects within granule cells, in their immediate extracellular milieu after being released from or synaptic contacts, by affecting neurons distant regions that provide afferent input cells. To identify where first acts entorhinal-hippocampal network ultimately...
