Observations in NeuN-stained sections obtained from animals with short recovery times (2, 3 or 14 days) showed that the volume and neuronal density in the LGN ipsilateral to the lesions were similar to those in the contralateral hemispheres. However, neuronal density in the lesion projection zone of LGN dropped rapidly thereafter, with approximately 50% of the population lost within a month post-lesion. This level of neuronal loss remained stable for over three years post-lesion. In comparison, shrinkage of the LGN volume progressed more gradually, not reaching a stable value until 6 months post lesion. We also determined the time course of the expression of the calcium-binding protein calbindin (CB) in magnocellular (M) and parvocellular (P) layer neurons, a form of neurochemical plasticity previously reported to be triggered by V1 lesions. We found that CB expression could be detected in surviving M and P neurons as early as two weeks after lesion, with the percentage of neurons showing this neurochemical phenotype gradually increasing over 6 months. Thus, neurochemical change precedes neuronal degeneration, suggesting it may be linked to a protective mechanism.

Here, we characterise object and scene-related feedback information to V1. Participants identified foreground objects or background scenes in images with occluded central and peripheral subsections, allowing us to isolate feedback activity to foveal and peripheral regions of V1. Using fMRI and multivoxel pattern classification, we found that background scene information is projected to both foveal and peripheral V1 but can be disrupted in the fovea by a sufficiently demanding object discrimination task, during which we found evidence of foveal object decoding when using naturalistic stimuli. We suggest that the feedback connections during scene perception project back to earlier visual areas an automatic sketch of occluded information to the predicted retinotopic location. In the case of a cognitive task however, feedback pathways project content to foveal retinotopic space, potentially for introspection, functioning as a cognitive active blackboard and not necessarily predicting the object's location.

To increase the translational impact of (preclinical) animal neuroimaging pain studies, the use of disease-specific pain models, as well as relevant stimulus modalities, are critical. We developed a comprehensive framework for brain network analysis combining functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with graph-theory (GT) and data classification by linear discriminant analysis. This enabled us to expand our knowledge of stimulus modalities processing under incisional (INC) and pathogen-induced inflammatory (CFA) pain entities compared to acute pain conditions. GT-analysis has uncovered specific features in pain modality processing that align well with those previously identified in humans. These include areas such as S1, M1, CPu, HC, piriform, and cingulate cortex. Additionally, we have identified unique Network Signatures of Pain Hypersensitivity (NSPH) for INC and CFA. This leads to a diminished ability to differentiate between stimulus modalities in both pain models compared to control conditions, while also enhancing aversion processing and descending pain modulation. Our findings further show that different pain entities modulate sensory input through distinct NSPHs. These neuroimaging signatures are an important step toward identifying novel cerebral pain biomarkers for certain diseases and relevant outcomes to evaluate target engagement of novel therapeutic and diagnostic options, which ultimately can be translated to the clinic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72752,"journal":{"name":"Current research in neurobiology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11731594/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142985728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been proven that embelin (Emb) possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Therefore, we assessed the therapeutic potential of Emb in Benzo [α]pyrene (BaP)-induced cognitive impairment in experimental mice. BaP (5 mg/kg, i. p) was given to mice daily for 28 days, and Emb (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg, i. p) was given from 14 to 28 days of a protocol.

At the end of the study, the animal tissue homogenate was used to check biochemicals, neuroinflammation, and neurotransmitter changes. BaP-treated mice showed a significant decline in locomotor activity, learning and memory deficits and augmented oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, nitrite, and GSH). Further, BaP promoted the release of inflammatory tissue markers, decreased acetylcholine, dopamine, GABA, serotonin, and norepinephrine, and increased glutamate concentration.

Postnatal day 10 (P10), Sprague-Dawley rat pups were randomly divided into Sham + Vehicle, Sham + Insulin, HI + Vehicle, and HI + Insulin groups with equal male-to-female ratios. Pups either had HI by permanent ligation of the right common carotid artery followed by 90 min of hypoxia (8% O2) or sham surgery followed by room air exposure. Immediately after HI or Sham, pups were given fluorescence-tagged insulin (Alex-546-insulin)/vehicle, human insulin (25 μg), or vehicle in each nare under anesthesia. Shortly after administration, widespread Alex-546-insulin-binding cells were detected in the brain, primarily co-localized with neuronal nuclei-positive neurons on double-immunostaining. In the hippocampus, phospho-Akt was activated in a subset of Alex-546-insulin double-labeled cells, suggesting activation of the Akt/PI3K pathway in these neurons. Intranasal insulin (InInsulin) reduced HI-induced sensorimotor behavioral disturbances at P11. InInsulin prevented HI-induced increased Fluoro-Jade C+ degenerated neurons, cleaved caspase 3+ neurons, and volume loss in the ipsilateral brain at P11.

In this paper, we aimed to build a biophysical bioheat and ray optics model to study the effects of laser heating in the brain, with and without intracranial electrodes in the vicinity of the ablation zone during the LITT procedure.

While undergoing electroencephalographic recording, students performed a word-colour “Stroop-like” congruence judgment task during morning and afternoon sessions, on Mondays and Wednesdays. Proportion of incongruence and congruence trials was 75% and 25%, respectively.

Crucially, compared to afternoon, morning fP3As patterns did not change adaptively with switch trial pairs.
