Neu1 deficiency is associated with reduced nicotine responsiveness and dopamine D3 receptor downregulation in zebrafish

It is suggested that Neu1-mediated PSA degradation may modulate dopamine D3 receptor-dependent nicotine sensitivity and contribute to reduced PSA levels and altered dopamine D3 receptor-related signaling, thereby influencing the threshold for nicotine-induced neural and behavioral activation.

Mineralocorticoid receptor signaling in GABAergic neurons regulates stress-induced cognitive flexibility

These findings suggest that MRs in GABAergic neurons normally function as critical constraints on excitatory synaptic plasticity during high-stress states, underscoring that adaptive stress responses rely on a finely tuned, cell-type-specific balance of corticosteroid signaling within limbic microcircuits.

β-catenin deficiency in forebrain excitatory neurons induces fear memory deficits and physiological alterations

The results suggest that β-catenin deficiency in forebrain excitatory neurons leads to fear conditioning impairment, which could be contributed by the diminished excitatory synaptic transmission in PFC resulting from disrupted synaptic gene expression.

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in the dorsal hippocampus is implicated in morphine-induced reward memory in mice.

It is demonstrated that morphine exposure selectively activates GSDMD-mediated pyroptotic signaling in the dorsal hippocampus (dHip), identifying neuronal pyroptosis as a previously unrecognized mechanism associated with morphine-associated reward memory and position GSDMD as a potential therapeutic target that warrant...

Neuronal Ddit4 Overexpression in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Reduces Synaptic Density and Impairs Cognitive Function in Mice

It is demonstrated that Ddit4 overexpression specifically in neurons is sufficient to reduce spine density in the PFC, impair temporal order memory, and induce transcriptional changes associated with stress and depression.
