Electro-acupuncture (EA) at the acupoints of Quchi (LI11) and Zusanli (ST36) has shown positive efficacy in motor dysfunction after stroke. Considering the reported functions of the GABAergic system in locomotion, the present study aims to investigate the detailed mechanism of EA effects on motor regulation, focusing on the neural histological and chemical changes in the GABAergic system. Results demonstrated that EA at LI11 and ST36 improved the modified neurological severity score (mNNS) score and motor function of MCAO/R rats. EA at LI11 and ST36 also prompted γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic (GABAergic) system by the expression of GABA related receptors and GABA interneurons. Here, We have identified long-range projecting GABAergic interneurons, which can be classified into different subtypes based on the molecular markers they express: Parvalbumin (PV+), Somatostatin (SST+), and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP+). Additionally, optogenetic stimulation of this projecting neurons can improve the motor dysfunction of MCAO/R rats. Notably, cortex M1-striatum (CS)-SST neural circuit which showed an indescribable role in locomotion improvement under EA intervention. The downregulation of the type II dopamine receptor in medium-sized spiny neurons (DR2-MSNs) and the upregulation of Synaptophysin (SYN) and Postsynaptic Density-95 (PSD95) suggest that MSNs and synaptic plasticity might be the downstream mechanisms of EA treatment at LI11 and ST36. To conclude, EA at LI11 and ST36 can promote synaptic plasticity and improve motor function by targeting and regulate downregulated DR2-MSNs neurons through the CS-SST neural circuit.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19142,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience","volume":"585 ","pages":"Pages 262-278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145040880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Larger OKRs were observed in BC-fed mice than in control mice at low grating contrast, suggesting that the contrast resolution to track moving patterns was improved. Similar results were observed in mice orally administered BCAs. Furthermore, we examined the effects of BCAs on the aging mouse retina and the primary visual cortex (V1) at the gene expression level. RNA-seq analysis of BCA-administered aging mouse retinas and V1s indicated activation of genes related to neural protection and neuronal survival, including BDNF and EGF.

We examined the acute impact of CORT on anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) oscillations in adult male mice, a hub region for stress and anxiety regulation. Using an ex vivo slice model with cholinergic and glutamatergic activation, we induced beta (10–25 Hz) and slow-gamma (26–45 Hz) oscillations. Our findings show that CORT enhances high-frequency network activity in the ACC in a dose-dependent manner, following an inverted U-shaped dose–response curve, with 1 μM CORT producing significant increases in beta and gamma power. GR activation alone reproduced this effect: the GR agonist dexamethasone mimicked, and the GR antagonist mifepristone blocked, CORT-induced enhancement. MR activation had little effect, and MR antagonism did not prevent the action of CORT. Importantly, acute stress induced by fear conditioning elevated serum CORT levels and enhanced ACC oscillatory activity, with a positive correlation between CORT concentration and oscillation power. Both GR and MR were robustly expressed in the ACC, with expression unaffected by acute stress. These findings highlight the critical role of GR in mediating the effects of CORT on ACC oscillations, which could have implications for understanding neuropsychiatric disorders including anxiety, depression and schizophrenia, where HPA dysfunction, impaired GR signaling, and altered ACC oscillatory activity are commonly observed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19142,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience","volume":"585 ","pages":"Pages 144-157"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
