Function of orexin-1 receptor signaling in the olfactory tubercle in odor-guided attraction and aversion by Md Monjurul Ahasan, Md Tasnim Alam, Yoshihiro Murata, Mutsuo Taniguchi, Masahiro Yamaguchi

“…The olfactory tubercle (OT), a component of the olfactory cortex and ventral striatum, consists of anteromedial (am) and lateral (l) domains regulating odor-guided attractive and aversive behaviors, respectively, in which the amOT highly expresses various receptors for feeding-regulated neuromodulators. Here we show functions of appetite-stimulating orexin-1 receptor (OxR1) signaling in the amOT. …”

Quality and Timing of Stressors Differentially Impact on Brain Plasticity and Neuroendocrine-Immune Function in Mice by Sara Capoccia, Alessandra Berry, Veronica Bellisario, Davide Vacirca, Elena Ortona, Enrico Alleva, Francesca Cirulli

“…Neuroendocrine activation did not differ between SS and control subjects; by contrast, the RS group showed a strong neuroendocrine response characterized by a specific time-dependent profile. Immune function and hippocampal BDNF levels were inversely related to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation. …”

Vitamin C enhances the in vitro development of early porcine embryos by improving mitochondrial function by Lei Wang, Liu She, Peng Qiu, Meiyun Lv, Yunchuan Zhang, Yunjia Qi, Qin Han, Deshun Shi, Chan Luo

“…Comparative analysis of in vitro and in vivo gene expression profiles of morula found that most of the differentially expressed genes were enriched in pathways related to mitochondrial function. The addition of 12.5 μg/mL Vc to the culture medium significantly increased blastocyst production in a dose- and duration-dependent manner. …”

Simultaneous impairment of neuronal and metabolic function of mutated gephyrin in a patient with epileptic encephalopathy by Borislav Dejanovic, Tania Djémié, Nora Grünewald, Arvid Suls, Vanessa Kress, Florian Hetsch, Dana Craiu, Matthew Zemel, Padhraig Gormley, Dennis Lal, EuroEPINOMICS Dravet working group, Candace T Myers, Heather C Mefford, Aarno Palotie, Ingo Helbig, Jochen C Meier, Peter De Jonghe, Sarah Weckhuysen, Guenter Schwarz

“…Surprisingly, gephyrin‐G375D was also unable to synthesize MoCo and activate MoCo‐dependent enzymes. Thus, we describe a missense mutation that affects both functions of gephyrin and suggest that the identified defect at GABAergic synapses is the mechanism underlying the patient's severe phenotype.…”
