While classical studies using anesthetized rats have illuminated the activity patterns of putative OT neurons during breastfeeding, the molecular, cellular, and neural circuit mechanisms driving the synchronous pulsatile bursts of OT neurons in response to nipple stimulation remain largely elusive.

We classified 309 neurons that responded significantly into 8 clusters according to the response dynamics. Among them, neurons with monophasic excitatory responses (7–12 ms latency) that returned to baseline within 20 ms were commonly observed in the optic and intermediate gray layers of centromedial and centrolateral SC.

Cross-correlation analysis suggested that the complex pattern could be only partly explained by an internal circuit of the deep gray layer. Our results indicate that medial to centrolateral SC neurons simply relay cortical activity, whereas neurons in the deep layers of the anterolateral SC dynamically integrate inputs from the cortex, SNr, CN, and local circuits.

However, the mechanism through which AMPA receptors are removed from the cell surface via neuronal activity is not fully understood. In this study, we showed that small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of sterile alpha and toll/interleukin receptor motif containing 1 (SARM1) in cultured hippocampal neurons prevented the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-induced reduction in cell surface AMPA receptors. However, the control RNA did not affect NMDA-mediated AMPA receptor trafficking. Overexpression of the siRNA-resistant form of SARM1 in SARM1-knocked-down neurons restored AMPA receptor trafficking. However, overexpression of SARM1, which lacks the mitochondrial transport signal, in the SARM1-knocked-down neurons did not restore NMDA-dependent AMPA receptor endocytosis. Moreover, the inhibition of the NADase activity of SARM1 blocked the NMDA-induced reduction of cell surface AMPA receptors.

ERα and ERβ, pivotal in estrogen regulation, influence neurotransmitter dynamics and neural network activities, crucial for empathic development. AVP, key in regulating water balance, blood pressure, and social behaviors, interplays with these receptors, profoundly impacting empathic responses. The study highlights that ERα predominantly enhances empathy, especially affective empathy, by stimulating AVP synthesis and release. In contrast, ERβ may diminish empathy in certain contexts by suppressing AVP expression and activity.

We observed that miR-33 levels were reduced at 1 hour and 60 days post-seizure, while ARC expression notably increased at these time points. In the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions of post-seizure rats, ARC expression significantly exceeded that of control groups. Following the transfection of HEK cells with a miR-33 mimic, there was a decrease in both ARC mRNA and protein levels, whereas the group treated with a miR-33 inhibitor displayed the opposite effect.
