Alterations in the levels of synaptic proteins affect transmission and plasticity. However, precise effects on neuronal network activity are still enigmatic. Here, we utilized microelectrode array (MEA) to elucidate how manipulation presynaptic release process affects networks. By combining pharmacological tools genetic proteins, show that overexpression DOC2B Munc13-1, known promote vesicular maturation release, elicits opposite network. Although both cause an increase overall number...
Abstract Oxytocin is essential in shaping social behavior across the lifespan. While role of oxytocin signaling parental care has been widely investigated, little known about its function during early life. This partly due to lack precise technologies for studying developing brain. Here, we studied pup under acute separation from and reunion with mother. We show that activity neurons was increased by maternal returned baseline after reunion. Behaviorally, maternally-separated pups emitted...
