Our study examined whether ME protocols—stop, start, reduce, or maintain running during pregnancy—could protect offspring from MD-induced memory deficits and impact hippocampal oxidative balance. Initially, adult Wistar female rats were divided into five groups: non-exercised mothers (NE), mothers who exercised only before pregnancy (PRE), mothers who exercised before and reduced the intensity during pregnancy (RED), mothers who exercised at the same intensity before and during pregnancy (EQUAL), and mothers who started exercise during pregnancy (GEST). After delivery, the groups were subdivided into control (CT) and MD. At 90 days of age, the offspring underwent an object recognition (OR) memory test, and hippocampal lipid peroxidation and catalase (CAT) levels were measured. MD-induced memory deficits in male but not female offspring. Only the male PRE group showed a memory deficit, while all other exercise protocols prevented the MD-induced deficits. MD did not affect hippocampal cell membrane peroxidation, and PRE and EQUAL protocols increased catalase levels compared to NE + CT controls. Our results highlight that maintaining or starting exercise during pregnancy mitigates memory deficits induced by MD, particularly in male offspring.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19290,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Letters","volume":"856 ","pages":"Article 138252"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our prior investigations revealed its high expression in certain areas of the adult rat brain.

In this study, we meticulously examined the expression patterns of Nischarin and the phosphorylation profiles of the PAK1/LIMK1/cofilin signaling cascade within the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, spanning from embryonic development through postnatal maturation. Furthermore, we delved into how Nischarin affects the neuronal migration and the underlying mechanisms. Our findings indicated that from postnatal day 1 to 28, there was a consistent increasing trend in both the protein and mRNA levels of Nischarin in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Interestingly, the phosphorylation levels of PAK1 and LIMK1 increased briefly at postnatal day 1, and then gradually decreased from postnatal day 21 to 28. Immunocoprecipitation revealed the interaction between endogenous Nischarin and PAK1/LIMK1 in the cerebral cortex. Notably, suppressing Nischarin expression markedly bolstered the migration ability of Neuro-2a cells and concurrently elevated the phosphorylation levels of the PAK1/LIMK1/cofilin signaling pathway. This elevation was effectively counteracted by the PAK1 inhibitor IPA3. Our research suggests that the progressive increase in Nischarin protein expression during development is likely integral to the normal developmental trajectory of the rat brain.

Lithium is a longstanding treatment for neuropsychiatric diseases. Lithium was recently shown to lead to glycogen synthase phosphorylation (i.e. inhibition) in rat brains through an unknown pathway. We tested whether lithium can prevent LB formation in laforin-deficient LD mice.

The latter were all sickly compared to the 60% in whose brains LBs did not increase. These results are generally cautionary regarding therapeutic translatability from rodents to humans where basic mechanisms are unknown. Increased LB formation only in frail mice suggests existence of self-perpetuating processes in LD.

The FA signals evoked by somatosensory stimulation were recorded under both TSW and CTSW conditions. The results demonstrate that CTSW significantly improved the SNR of FA signals compared to TSW alone, enabling more precise detection of neural activity. Notably, the enhanced signal clarity facilitated robust imaging in the secondary motor cortex (M2), a region where activity is barely detectable using conventional TSW. By better preserving intracranial physiological conditions than craniotomy, CTSW minimizes postoperative complications and supports longitudinal imaging. Furthermore, this technique may be applicable to other optical imaging modalities, including calcium and vascular imaging.

Because the hypothalamus is involved in the regulation of not only feeding behavior but also gut function, the present study was performed to clarify a hypothesis that AMPK in the brain regulate gut barrier function. Colonic permeability was determined by quantifying the absorbed Evans blue within the colonic tissue in rats. Intracisternal AICAR, an AMPK activator, could reduce LPS-induced colonic hyperpermeability while peripherally administered AICAR failed to change it. The improvement of colonic hyperpermeability by intracisternal AICAR was blocked by intracisternal but not subcutaneous compound C, AMPK inhibitor, atropine or vagotomy. The improvement of colonic hyperpermeability by intracisternal AICAR was blocked by intracisternal orexin receptor antagonist but not oxytocin or GLP-1 receptor antagonist. Intracisternal compound C prevented brain oxytocin or GLP-1 but not orexin-induced improvement of colonic hyperpermeability. These results suggest that activation of brain AMPK is capable of reducing colonic hyperpermeability through brain orexin signaling and the vagus nerve.

To address this issue, we compared the EEG alpha power of 40 healthy adults while ideating creative and conventional graphic symbols representing an abstract concept’s meaning (e.g., the word ’peace’). Our results revealed that the ideation of graphic symbols elicited alpha synchronization, with higher levels in the conventional compared to the creative condition, mainly over frontal-central, frontal-temporal, parietal-occipital, and occipital regions. Furthermore, we observed greater alpha synchronization in the right hemisphere than in the left across both conditions, particularly between temporal, central-parietal, and parietal electrodes. This asymmetry extended to central electrodes in the creative condition, while in the conventional condition, it was more pronounced over parietal-occipital regions. Finally, we also found that frontal and occipital alpha synchronization during the creative ideation phase predicted the subsequent originality scores of the graphic symbols produced. Together, these findings enhance our understanding of the dynamics of oscillatory alpha activity during graphic symbol creation, shedding light on how the interaction between inhibitory top-down control mechanisms and cognitive flexibility processes facilitates the transformation of abstract concepts into visual forms.
