This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
The preBötzinger Complex (preBötC) in the brainstem generates inspiratory rhythm, but how it is wired within the core central pattern generator neural circuit to produce and modulate breathing movements remains to be determined. We examined the connectivity of two populations of preBötC neurons, one excitatory expressing the peptide somatostatin (SST) and one inhibitory expressing the glycine transporter GlyT2, to other brainstem regions that modulate breathing and identified projections to suprapontine regions that may regulate voluntary and emotional contro...

Neural oscillations in the infralimbic cortex after electrical stimulation of the amygdala. Relevance to acute stress processing
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Interaction between the infralimbic region of the medial prefrontal cortex (IL) and the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is critical in the stress processes.
After the electrical activation of the CeA in urethane‐anesthetised rats, by mimicking firing rates induced by acute stress, a delayed particular slow wave in the IL local field potential, in association with theta, gamma and spindles oscillations, was observed. In addition, this slow oscillation was accompanied by an increase in theta‐gamma coupling. This characteristic oscillatory pattern might b...

Neuregulin directed molecular mechanisms of visual cortical plasticity
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
This image is associated with Figure 2 in Grieco et al. in this issue. It is an artistic rendition of their image data illustrating enhanced local excitatory inputs to monocularly deprived PV neurons (white circles) with bath applied NRG1. The eye‐like overlay in black conveys that therapeutic intervention of NRG1/ErbB4 signaling can be developed to help treat critical period‐relevant disorders such as amblyopia. The review article of Grieco et al. addresses a novel and critical role of NRG1/ErbB4 in regulation of visual cortical critical period plasticity. ...

The Second Visual System of the Tree Shrew
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
This review provides a historical account of the discovery of secondary visual pathways (from retina to the superior colliculus to the dorsal thalamus and extrastriate cortex), and Vivien Casagrande's pioneering studies of this system using the tree shrew as a model. The organization and connectivity of 2nd visual system components are detailed. Potential functions of the 2nd visual system also are discussed in the context of this work and in the context of the behavioral studies that initially inspired the 2nd visual system concept.

Cell type specific tracing of the subcortical input to primary visual cortex from the basal forebrain
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
The basal forebrain provides a modulatory cholinergic input to cerebral cortex through volume transmission which allows access to receptors throughout all cortical layers. Direct synaptic inputs are also present in deep layers. The paper used a dual viral retrograde tracing technique to show that basal forebrain inputs synapse directly onto inhibitory, but not excitatory neurons in primary visual cortex (V1), suggesting a more immediate modulatory role on local inhibition.

Neurotransmitter Diversity In Pre ‐Synaptic Terminals Located in the Parvicellular Neuroendocrine Paraventricular Nucleus of the Rat and Mouse Hypothalamus
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
The activity of neuroendocrine neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) is controlled by sets of pre‐motor inputs. Using immunohistochemistry and confocal image analysis we examine single and co‐occurrence of catecholaminergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic markers in synaptophysin‐defined axon terminals in the PVH region that mostly contains CRH neurons. We provide a structural basis for how these transmitter interactions enable adrenocortical responses to fast‐onset interosensory stimuli, and more broadly, how combinations of PVH...
