Populations of Hindbrain Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP1) Neurons That Innervate the Hypothalamic PVH, Thalamic PVT, or Limbic Forebrain BST Have Axon Collaterals That Reach All Central Regions Innervated by GLP1 Neurons

Neurons in the caudal nucleus of the solitary tract (cNTS) and intermediate reticular nucleus (IRt) that express the glucagon gene (Gcg) give rise to glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1)-immunopositive axons in the spinal cord and many subcortical brain reg…

Characterization of Mice Carrying a Neurodevelopmental Disease-Associated GluN2B(L825V) Variant

N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), encoded by GRIN genes, are ionotropic glutamate receptors playing a critical role in synaptic transmission, plasticity, and synapse development. Genome sequence analyses have identified variants in GRIN genes i…

Electrical Synapses Mediate Embryonic Hyperactivity in a Zebrafish Model of Fragile X Syndrome

Although hyperactivity is associated with a wide variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, the early embryonic origins of locomotion have hindered investigation of pathogenesis of these debilitating behaviors. The earliest motor output in vertebrate an…

Brain Network Interconnectivity Dynamics Explain Metacognitive Differences in Listening Behavior

Complex auditory scenes pose a challenge to attentive listening, rendering listeners slower and more uncertain in their perceptual decisions. How can we explain such behaviors from the dynamics of cortical networks that pertain to the control of liste…

Connecting self-report and instrumental behavior during incubation of food craving in humans [BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS]

Incubation of craving is a phenomenon describing the intensification of craving for a reward over extended periods of abstinence from reinforcement. Animal models use instrumental markers of craving to reward cues to examine incubation, while human pa…

Learning & Memory

Network motifs exhibiting a differential response to spaced and massed inputs [RESEARCH PAPERS]

One characteristic of long-term memory is the existence of an inverted U-shaped response to increasing intervals between training sessions, and consequently, an optimal spacing that maximizes memory formation. Current models of this spacing effect foc…

Endoplasmic Reticulum and Mitochondrial Calcium Handling Dynamically Shape Slow Afterhyperpolarizations in Vasopressin Magnocellular Neurons

Many neurons including vasopressin (VP) magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) of the hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) generate afterhyperpolarizations (AHPs) during spiking to slow firing, a phenomenon known as spike frequency adaptation. The…
