Study unveils the distinct activation patterns of glutamatergic projection neurons in the cortex of living mice NatureNeuro
Single trial and averaged tongue trajectories centered to inhibition of frontal , parietal and frontolateral nodes. Control . Note that trajectories evolve from top to bottom with the mouth at top and pellet at bottom . Upward change in value indicates decrease in tongue length.Distribution of total tongue length 0.5 s before and after inhibition onset of frontal , parietal and frontolateral nodes.
Right: Mean vertical hand trajectory from side view and absolute velocity during control and inhibition of frontal , parietal and frontolateral nodes. Insets: zoomed mean signals. Note increase in velocity fluctuation during parietal inhibition.Distribution of absolute velocity integral for 1 sec post hand lift during control and inhibition of frontal , parietal and frontolateral nodes.

Neural Integration of Audiovisual Sensory Inputs in Macaque Amygdala and Adjacent Regions - Neuroscience BulletinIntegrating multisensory inputs to generate accurate perception and guide behavior is among the most critical functions of the brain. Subcortical regions such as the amygdala are involved in sensory processing including vision and audition, yet their roles in multisensory integration remain unclear. In this study, we systematically investigated the function of neurons in the amygdala and adjacent regions in integrating audiovisual sensory inputs using a semi-chronic multi-electrode array and multiple combinations of audiovisual stimuli. From a sample of 332 neurons, we showed the diverse response patterns to audiovisual stimuli and the neural characteristics of bimodal over unimodal modulation, which could be classified into four types with differentiated regional origins. Using the hierarchical clustering method, neurons were further clustered into five groups and associated with different integrating functions and sub-regions. Finally, regions distinguishing congruent and incongruent bimodal sensory inputs were identified. Overall, visual processing dominates audiovisual integration in the amygdala and adjacent regions. Our findings shed new light on the neural mechanisms of multisensory integration in the primate brain.

Konik pony foaling season begins at National Trust nature reserveIt's foaling season and a Konik pony has been born at a nature reserve in the UK. The ponies are distinctive as stallions can sometimes be seen rearing up on their hind legs and sparring with each other in a display of dominance during the foaling season.

Cold temperature extends longevity and prevents disease-related protein aggregation through PA28γ-induced proteasomes - Nature AgingModerate cold temperature extends lifespan, but the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. Here, the authors show that moderate cold temperature eliminates aggregation-prone proteins through PSME3-activated proteasomes in both C. elegans and human cells.

The C-terminal tail of polycystin-1 suppresses cystic disease in a mitochondrial enzyme-dependent fashion - Nature CommunicationsMutations in the gene encoding PC1 cause ADPKD, a common genetic renal disease. Here, the authors show that expression of the C-terminal 200 amino acids of the large PC1 protein in mouse models of ADPKD suppresses cystic disease through an interaction with the mitochondrial enzyme NNT.
