Chemogenetic stimulation of adult neurogenesis, and not neonatal neurogenesis, is sufficient to improve long-term memory accuracy

Marie Lods, Pierre Mortessagne, Emilie Pacary, Geoffrey Terral, Fanny Farrugia, Wilfrid Mazier, Nuria Masachs, Vanessa Charrier, Daniela Cota, Guillaume Ferreira, Djoher Nora Abrous, Sophie Tronel

Summary: Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus plays a crucial role in memory processes, but its direct impact on memory performance remains uncertain. This study developed a chemogenetic method to selectively activate specific populations of adult-born neurons, and demonstrated that this activation can improve the accuracy and strength of remote memory in rats. These findings suggest that stimulating adult-born neuron activity may counteract the natural decline of memory traces over time, offering new potential for treating memory problems.

The right uncinate fasciculus supports verbal short-term memory in aphasia

Guillem Olive, Claudia Penaloza, Lucia Vaquero, Matti Laine, Nadine Martin, Antoni Rodriguez-Fornells

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between white matter pathways associated with verbal short-term memory (STM) and language abilities in individuals with aphasia. The study finds significant correlations between volume measures of the right Uncinate Fasciculus (UF) and three different verbal STM scores, with the strongest association being with nonword repetition. These findings suggest the integrity of the right UF is associated with phonological and lexical-semantic verbal STM ability in aphasia, highlighting the compensatory role of right-sided ventral white matter language tracts in supporting verbal STM after left hemisphere insult.

Long-Term Olfactory Memory in African Elephants

Franziska Hoerner, Arne Lawrenz, Ann-Kathrin Oerke, Dennis W. H. Mueller, Idu Azogu-Sepe, Marco Roller, Karsten Damerau, Angelika Preisfeld

Summary: This study investigated the long-term olfactory memory of two mother-daughter pairs that were separated for 2 and 12 years, respectively. Results showed that all four elephants were able to recognize their separated relatives just by the scent of feces, thereby giving the empirical implication of olfactory memory in African elephants of up to 12 years. These findings confirm the significance of scent for family bonds in African elephants.

Lateralization of short-term memory

Xinxin Yin, Yu Wang, Jiejue Li, Zengcai V. Guo

Summary: Despite symmetric brain structures, the left and right hemispheres in mammals do not contribute equally to certain cognitive functions. This study focuses on the anterior lateral motor cortex (ALM) in mice and investigates the asymmetrical interaction between the left and right ALM during a tactile-based decision-making task. The results show that neural activity and encoding capability are similar across hemispheres, but only one hemisphere dominates in behavior. Inhibition of the dominant ALM disrupts encoding capability in the non-dominant ALM. Variable behavioral deficits can be predicted by the influence on contralateral activity across sessions, mice, and tasks.

Impaired olfactory neurogenesis affects the performance of olfactory-guided behavior in aged female opossums

Beata Tepper, Paulina Koguc-Sobolewska, Katarzyna Jaslan, Krzysztof Turlejski, Katarzyna Bartkowska, Ruzanna Djavadian

Summary: The study showed that aged female opossums took longer to find food using olfactory cues, and had lower levels of immature neurons marked by doublecortin in the olfactory bulb. Additionally, the protein HuD, associated with learning and memory, was higher in aged opossums compared to young opossums.

The environmental sculpting hypothesis of juvenile and adult hippocampal neurogenesis

Jesse D. Cushman, Michael R. Drew, Franklin B. Krasne

Summary: The primary function of juvenile and adult hippocampal neurogenesis appears to be allowing behavioral experience to shape connectivity in the dentate gyrus and optimize hippocampal circuits for future learning. This environmental sculpting reduces overlap among memory representations, provides more information, and allows for more memories to be stored accurately. The decline of neurogenesis prior to adulthood may be explained by this prospective function of sculpting hippocampal circuits.

α2-Adrenergic modulation of Ih in adult-born granule cells in the olfactory bulb

Ruilong Hu, Janam Shankar, Grant Z. Z. Dong, Pablo S. S. Villar, Ricardo C. C. Araneda

Summary: In the olfactory bulb (OB), noradrenaline (NA) modulates the hyperpolarization-activated currents (I-h) in adult-born granule cells (abGCs) through alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors (ARs), enhancing lateral inhibition onto mitral and tufted cells (MCs). This modulation also affects the subthreshold resonance in GCs, potentially impacting the temporal integration of abGCs.

Light-regulated voltage-gated potassium channels for acute interrogation of channel function in neurons and behavior

Henry H. Jerng, Jay M. Patel, Tamor A. Khan, Benjamin R. Arenkiel, Paul J. Pfaffinger

Summary: Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels play a crucial role in regulating membrane potential and action potential firing, yet specific impacts of different Kv channels on neuronal network activity remain unclear. A novel optogenetic technology has been developed to acutely regulate Kv channel expression with light, providing new insights into neural circuit interrogation and the roles of Kv channels in brain function and behavior.

Olfactory bulb astrocytes mediate sensory circuit processing through Sox9 in the mouse brain

Kevin Ung, Teng-Wei Huang, Brittney Lozzi, Junsung Woo, Elizabeth Hanson, Brandon Pekarek, Burak Tepe, Debosmita Sardar, Yi-Ting Cheng, Gary Liu, Benjamin Deneen, Benjamin R. Arenkiel

Summary: The transcription factor Sox9 in astrocytes plays a crucial role in sensory processing in the adult mouse olfactory bulb, impacting both anatomical and functional aspects of astrocytes and neuronal response. Loss of Sox9 results in decreased odor detection thresholds, altered neuronal sensory response maps, and impaired electrophysiological properties of mitral and tufted neurons. These findings highlight the importance of astrocytes in regulating physiological sensory processing and identify Sox9 as a key transcriptional regulator for mature astrocyte function in the olfactory bulb.

Co-transmitting neurons in the lateral septal nucleus exhibit features of neurotransmitter switching

Patrick J. Hunt, Mikhail Kochukov, Brandon T. Pekarek, Benjamin D. W. Belfort, Juan M. Romero, Jessica L. Swanson, Benjamin R. Arenkiel

Summary: The lateral septal nucleus (LSN) is an interconnected region of the central brain that plays a crucial role in regulating various brain-wide nuclei, circuits, and behaviors. This study reveals that GABAergic neurons in the LSN express markers for acetylcholine release and release both GABA and acetylcholine onto local glutamatergic LSN neurons. These findings suggest a potential mechanism for neuronal and circuit-wide plasticity in the LSN.

Lateral septum as a melanocortin downstream site in obesity development

Yuanzhong Xu, Zhiying Jiang, Hongli Li, Jing Cai, Yanyan Jiang, Joshua Otiz-Guzman, Yong Xu, Benjamin R. Arenkiel, Qingchun Tong

Summary: The melanocortin pathway plays a critical role in body-weight regulation and is mediated by paraventricular hypothalamic neurons that express melanocortin receptors 4 and project to the ventral part of the lateral septum. Activation of these neurons reduces feeding and causes aversion, while disruption of their function leads to obesity and reduced energy expenditure.
