Spatial-temporal topography in neurogenesis of the macaque thalamus

Taylor Spadory, Alvaro Duque, Lynn D. Selemon

Summary: Maternal injection of H-3-thymidine during gestation has been used to study neurogenesis in different brain areas. In this study, we focused on the rostral thalamus and found that neurogenesis in the mediodorsal and anterior nuclei occurs earlier than in the lateral geniculate and pulvinar nuclei. This new understanding can contribute to our knowledge of developmental perturbation and its link to later-life incidence of schizophrenia.

Thalamic activity during scalp slow waves in humans

Peter P. Ujma, Orsolya Szalardy, Daniel Fabo, Lorand Eross, Robert Bodizs

Summary: Slow waves are major pacemakers of NREM sleep oscillations, mainly generated by cortical neurons. This study found that thalamic activity during slow waves is highly similar to scalp activity, with different frequency bands observed during downstates and upstates. These results suggest that thalamic activity is primarily driven by global cortical activity, while smaller thalamocortical neuron assemblies may initiate cortical oscillations.

Disentangling the influences of multiple thalamic nuclei on prefrontal cortex and cognitive control

Jessica M. Phillips, Niranjan A. Kambi, Michelle J. Redinbaugh, Sounak Mohanta, Yuri B. Saalmann

Summary: The prefrontal cortex has a complex relationship with the thalamus, where thalamocortical neurons in several nuclei are modulated by affective and cognitive signals. This modulation contributes to all aspects of cognitive control, including internal states processing, attentional allocation, and goal-directed behavior. Thalamic modulation of cortical gain and cortico-cortical functional connectivity play important roles in these processes.

Neuropathic pain generates silent synapses in thalamic projection to anterior cingulate cortex

Yao Q. Wang, Junshi Wang, Sun-hui Xia, Howard B. Gutstein, Yanhua H. Huang, Oliver M. Schluter, Jun-Li Cao, Yan Dong

Summary: The study revealed that pain experience can induce remodeling of neural circuits between the mediodorsal thalamus and the anterior cingulate cortex, leading to the generation of silent synapses that contribute to allodynia and hyperalgesia. These silent synapses undergo changes over time post-pain experience, affecting pain sensitivity.

Group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGlu2 and mGlu3) roles in thalamic processing

Caroline S. Copeland, Stuart A. Neale, Eric S. Nisenbaum, Thomas E. Salt

Summary: The activation of mGlu(3) receptors in the thalamus potentiates responses to somatosensory stimulation by reducing inhibition from TRN. This mechanism may play a crucial role in governing attentional processes and could be a specific therapeutic target for cognitive function enhancement in diseases like schizophrenia.

Region-specific heterogeneity in neuronal nuclear morphology in young, aged and in Alzheimer's disease mouse brains

Soumen Das, Narendrakumar Ramanan

Summary: Neurons in the mammalian brain exhibit diversity in nuclear morphology across different brain regions, with variations in area, perimeter, and circularity. These nuclear size parameters also change with age, showing decreases in some regions and increases in others. In an Alzheimer's disease mouse model, neuronal nuclear morphology varies with plaque size and distance from the plaque. These findings suggest that changes in nuclear size and shape may be related to transcriptional activity in different ages and Alzheimer's disease.

Specificity of Nuclear Size Scaling in Frog Erythrocytes

Tetsufumi Niide, Saki Asari, Kosuke Kawabata, Yuki Hara

Summary: This study analyzes the scaling relationship of nuclear size, cell size, and genomic content in different cell types and species. It finds that there are differences in the scaling rules among species and cell types, and the weak interaction between chromatin and nuclear membrane in frog erythrocytes contributes to the observed specific features in nuclear size scaling.

Malhotra, Matcheri Keshavan, Martha E. E. Shenton, Yogesh Rathi, Ofer Pasternak, Marek Kubicki

Summary: Studies using Free Water Imaging have consistently found increased extracellular free water in individuals with early psychosis, but the time course of these elevations and their relationship with illness duration have not been extensively studied. Our multi-site analysis of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging scans from individuals with schizophrenia at different illness stages and ages reveals that average whole brain free water is higher in individuals with schizophrenia across all ages, with the greatest values observed in early adulthood. Additionally, free water is negatively associated with illness duration.

Liver X Receptor Regulation of Glial Cell Functions in the CNS

Xiaoyu Song, Wanfu Wu, Margaret Warner, Jan-Ake Gustafsson

Summary: This review discusses the role of liver X receptors (LXRs) in glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS). LXRs regulate genes involved in cholesterol homeostasis, inflammatory responses, and glutamate homeostasis. Studies on LXR knockout mice have shown that LXR beta is crucial for the health of various types of neurons in both CNS and peripheral nervous system. LXRs are also important for cerebrospinal fluid homeostasis. Despite the neurological deficits observed in LXR-deficient rodents, defective LXR signaling has only been identified in multiple sclerosis among human neurodegenerative diseases. Targeting LXRs in glial cells may hold potential for treating neurodegenerative diseases and disorders caused by abnormal neuronal migration during development.

Thalamic regulation of frontal interactions in human cognitive flexibility

Ali Hummos, Bin A. Wang, Sabrina Drammis, Michael M. Halassa, Burkhard Pleger

Summary: Interactions across frontal cortex are critical for cognition. Recent research suggests that the mediodorsal thalamus (MD) plays a role in these interactions, but the specific computations and relevance to human decision making remain unclear. In this study, a neural model of an executive frontal-MD network was trained on a human decision-making task, and the results showed that the MD compressed its cortical inputs and efficiently partitioned cortical activity patterns, enhancing task switching. The findings contribute to the emerging evidence for thalamic regulation of frontal interactions in the human brain.

Past-year intimate partner violence perpetration among people with and without depression: an individual participant data (IPD) meta-mediation analysis

Katherine R. K. Saunders, Sabine Landau, Louise M. Howard, Helen L. Fisher, Louise Arseneault, Geraldine F. H. McLeod, Sian Oram

Summary: The study found that depression is associated with increased risk of past-year intimate partner violence (IPV), with differences by gender. Among women, depression was associated with a 7.4% increase in past-year physical IPV perpetration, while among men the increase was 4.8%. Alcohol misuse did not mediate this association, but past-year IPV victimisation mediated the effect of depression on IPV perpetration among women.

Mental health problems and admissions to hospital for accidents and injuries in the UK military: A data linkage study

Zoe Chui, Daniel D. Leightley, Margaret Jones, Sabine T. Landau, Paul McCrone, Richard Hayes, Simon Wessely, Nicola Fear, Laura Goodwin

Summary: Accidents are the most common cause of death among UK military personnel. This study found that mental health problems, such as common mental disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder, were associated with an increased risk of hospital admissions for accidents and injuries. Additionally, smoking was also associated with more visits to accident and emergency departments. Therefore, healthcare professionals should consider mental health and health damaging behaviors when treating military personnel after an accident.

Chronic treatment with D2-antagonist haloperidol leads to inhibitory/excitatory imbalance in striatal D1-neurons

Catia Santa, Diana Rodrigues, Joana F. Coelho, Sandra I. Anjo, Vera M. Mendes, Diogo Bessa-Neto, Michael J. Dunn, David Cotter, Graca Baltazar, Patricia Monteiro, Bruno Manadas

Summary: This study used proteomic analysis and electrophysiological recordings to explore the effects of haloperidol in the striatum. The findings suggest that haloperidol not only reduces the excitability of striatal medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine D2 receptors but also affects D1-MSNs by altering the ratio of inhibitory/excitatory synaptic transmission. The slow remodeling of D1-MSNs may explain the delayed therapeutic effect of haloperidol.
