Low dose deltamethrin exposure affects gene expression in rat frontal cortex by Junze Wu, Ariv Shah, Rami Ridi, Zacharia Rashid, Ali Sajid Imami, Nilanjana Saferin, James Patrick Burkett

“…Our study investigates the impact of oral exposure to deltamethrin, a widely used Type II pyrethroid pesticide, on gene expression in the frontal cortex of rats. We used differential gene expression data from frontal cortex dissections from male Long-Evans rats exposed to a 3 mg/kg oral dose of deltamethrin (or vehicle) to perform a 3Pod analysis in R Studio, which included GSEA, Enrichr, and iLINCS analyses. …”

BACE1 Is Necessary for Experience-Dependent Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity in Visual Cortex by Emily Petrus, Hey-Kyoung Lee

“…We previously reported that Arc is critical for sensory experience-dependent homeostatic reduction of excitatory synaptic transmission in the superficial layers of visual cortex. Here we demonstrate that mice lacking the major neuronal β-secretase, BACE1, exhibit a similar phenotype: stronger basal excitatory synaptic transmission and failure to adapt to changes in visual experience. …”

CREB Regulates Experience-Dependent Spine Formation and Enlargement in Mouse Barrel Cortex by Annabella Pignataro, Antonella Borreca, Martine Ammassari-Teule, Silvia Middei

“…Here we studied the effects of vibrissae trimming, a widely used model of sensory deprivation-induced cortical plasticity, on processes associated with dendritic spine rearrangements in the barrel cortex of a transgenic mouse model of CREB downregulation (mCREB mice). …”

Node Detection Using High-Dimensional Fuzzy Parcellation Applied to the Insular Cortex by Ugo Vercelli, Matteo Diano, Tommaso Costa, Andrea Nani, Sergio Duca, Giuliano Geminiani, Alessandro Vercelli, Franco Cauda

“…To test this procedure and to explore insular connectivity beyond the two/three-region model currently proposed in the literature, we parcellated the insular cortex of 20 healthy right-handed volunteers scanned in a resting state. …”

Repeated sevoflurane exposure causes hypomyelination in the prefrontal cortex of adult male mice by Linyong Zhang, Zhidan Ke, Ning Zhang, Dechuan Wang, Liang Zhou

“…Here, we show that repeated sevoflurane exposure, but not single exposure, causes hypomyelination and abnormal ultrastructure of myelin sheath in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of adult male mice, which is considered as a critical brain region for general anesthesia mediated consciousness change. …”

Changes in the transcriptome of the prefrontal cortex of OXYS rats as the signs of Alzheimer’s disease development by N. A. Stefanova, E. E. Korbolina, N. I. Ershov, E. I. Rogaev, N. G. Kolosova

“…To elucidate how these signs develop, we used a nextgeneration RNA sequencing technique (RNA-Seq) to study the prefron­tal-cortex transcriptome of OXYS rats during the manifestation of AD signs (at an age of 5 months) and during their active progres­sion (at an age of 18 months), using age-matched Wistar rats (parental strain) as controls. …”

Potential Role of Synaptic Activity to Inhibit LTD Induction in Rat Visual Cortex by Matthew R. Stewart, Hans C. Dringenberg

“…Under these conditions, LFS applied to the lateral geniculate nucleus resulted in LTD of field postsynaptic potentials (fPSPs) recorded in the primary visual cortex (V1). Pairing LFS with stimulation of the brainstem (pedunculopontine) reticular formation resulted in the appearance of faster, more complex activity in V1 and prevented LTD induction, an effect that did not require muscarinic or nicotinic receptors. …”
