Cell-type-specific nicotinic input disinhibits mouse barrel cortex during active sensing

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Célia Roxane Gasselin

Fast synaptic transmission relies upon the activation of ionotropic receptors by neurotransmitter release to evoke postsynaptic potentials. Glutamate and GABA play dominant roles in driving highly dynamic activity in synaptically connected neuronal circuit ...

Coincidence imaging spectroscopy of extreme-ultraviolet photoionisation processes in molecules and clusters

Andrew Daniel Bonnar Clark

Presented here is the design, construction and commissioning of a coincidence imaging spectroscopy endstation coupled to the Harmonium high-harmonic generation (HHG) extreme-ultraviolet photon source at the Lausanne Centre for Ultrafast Science. The endsta ...

Impairment of Glycolysis-Derived L-Serine Production in Astrocytes Contributes to Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease

Graham Knott

Alteration of brain aerobic glycolysis is often observed early in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that th ...

Amygdala GluN2B-NMDAR dysfunction is critical in abnormal aggression of neurodevelopmental origin induced by St8sia2 deficiency

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Graham Knott, Johannes Gräff, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Catherine Maclachlan, Simone Astori, Wei Tang, Bianca Ambrogina Silva, Elias Georges Gebara, Alexandre Claude Gustave Bacq

Aggression is frequently observed in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, autism, and bipolar disorder. Due to a lack of understanding of its underlying mechanisms, effective treatments for abnormal aggression are still missing. ...

Dual optical control and mechanistic insights into photoswitchable group II and III metabotropic glutamate receptors

Johannes Broichhagen

G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling occurs in complex spatiotemporal patterns that are difficult to probe using standard pharmacological and genetic approaches. A powerful approach for dissecting GPCRs is to use light-controlled pharmacological age ...

Learning improvement after PI3K activation correlates with de novo formation of functional small spines

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

PI3K activation promotes the formation of synaptic contacts and dendritic spines, morphological features of glutamatergic synapses that are commonly known to be related to learning processes. In this report, we show that in vivo administration of a peptide ...

Definition and quantification of acute inflammatory white matter injury in the immature brain by MRI/MRS at high magnetic field

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major risk factor for both perinatal and long-term morbidity. Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) is a major milk glycoprotein considered as a pleiotropic functional nutrient. The impact of maternal supplementat ...

Pansynaptic Enlargement at Adult Cortical Connections Strengthened by Experience

Graham Knott

Behavioral experience alters the strength of neuronal connections in adult neocortex. These changes in synaptic strength are thought to be central to experience-dependent plasticity, learning, and memory. However, it is not known how changes in synaptic tr ...

Facilitation of AMPA receptor synaptic delivery as a molecular mechanism for cognitive enhancement

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Cell adhesion molecules and downstream growth factor-dependent signaling are critical for brain development and synaptic plasticity, and they have been linked to cognitive function in adult animals. We have previously developed a mimetic peptide (FGL) from ...

Determination of Transmembrane Water Fluxes in Neurons Elicited by Glutamate Ionotropic Receptors and by the Co-transporters KCC2 and NKCC1: A Digital Holographic Microscopy Study

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Benjamin Rappaz, Pascal Jourdain, Daniel Boss

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a noninvasive optical imaging technique that provides quantitative phase images of living cells. In a recent study, we showed that the quantitative monitoring of the phase signal by DHM was a simple label-free method ...

Complementary Function and Integrated Wiring of the Evolutionarily Distinct Drosophila Olfactory Subsystems

Pavan P Ramdya

To sense myriad environmental odors, animals have evolved multiple, large families of divergent olfactory receptors. How and why distinct receptor repertoires and their associated circuits are functionally and anatomically integrated is essentially unknown ...

Semisynthetic Fluorescent Sensor Proteins Based on Self-Labeling Protein Tags

Matthias Albert Brun

Genetically encoded fluorescent sensor proteins offer the possibility to probe the concentration of key metabolites in living cells. The approaches currently used to generate such fluorescent sensor proteins lack generality, as they require a protein that ...

H-1-[C-13] NMR Spectroscopy of the Rat Brain During Infusion of [2-C-13] Acetate at 14.1 T

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Bernard Lanz

Full signal intensity H-1-[C-13] NMR spectroscopy, combining a preceding C-13-editing block based on an inversion BISEP (B-1-insensitive spectral editing pulse) with a spin-echo coherence-based localization, was developed and implemented at 14.1 T. C-13 ed ...

NEURONAL ENRICHED ENDOSOMAL PROTEIN OF 21 kDa COLOCALIZES WITH GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR SUBUNIT GLUR2/3 AT THE POSTSYNAPTIC MEMBRANE

Functional evidence suggests that neuronal enriched endosomal protein of 21 kDa (NEEP21) takes part in facilitating transport of AMPA receptors (AMPAR) in the synapse. To explore the anatomical basis for a role in this synaptic trafficking, we investigated ...
