Here we show that, in mice, the initial formation of synapses on cerebellar Purkinje cells involves a presynaptic protein—CBLN1, a member of the C1q protein family—that is secreted by all types of excitatory inputs. The molecular program then evolves only in one of the Purkinje cell inputs, the inferior olivary neurons, with the additional expression of the presynaptic secreted proteins C1QL1, CRTAC1 and LGI2. These molecules work in concert to specify the mature connectivity pattern on the Purkinje cell target. These results show that some inputs actively and gradually specify their synaptic molecular identity, while others rely on the ‘original molecular code’. Thus, the molecular specification of excitatory synapses, crucial for proper circuit function, is acquired in a stepwise manner during mouse postnatal development and obeys input-specific rules.</p>","PeriodicalId":19076,"journal":{"name":"Nature neuroscience","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142797144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we identified a discrete group of neurons in the mouse hypothalamic preoptic area (POA) that rheostatically increase their activity over the course of heat acclimation, a property required for mice to become heat tolerant. In non-acclimated mice, peripheral thermoafferent pathways via the parabrachial nucleus activate POA neurons and mediate acute heat-defense mechanisms. However, long-term heat exposure promotes the POA neurons to gain intrinsically warm-sensitive activity, independent of thermoafferent parabrachial input. This newly gained cell-autonomous warm sensitivity is required to recruit peripheral heat tolerance mechanisms in acclimated animals. This pacemaker-like, warm-sensitive activity is driven by a combination of increased sodium leak current and enhanced utilization of the Na<sub>V</sub>1.3 ion channel.

However, the cellular and circuit mechanisms by which DA receptors transform DA release into distinct constructs of reward remain unclear.

Furthermore, D3Rs coexpress with DA D1 receptors, which regulate reinforcement, but not motivation. Paralleling dissociable roles in reward function, we report nonoverlapping physiological actions of D3R and DA D1 receptor signaling in mNAcSh neurons. Our results establish a fundamental framework wherein DA signaling within the same nucleus accumbens cell type is physiologically compartmentalized via actions on distinct DA receptors.
