The mouse midbrain periaqueductal gray is organized into target-specific output populations

Alicia Strosche, Ayu Tamaki, Jonathan N. Mader, Eloah S. De Biasi, A. Vanessa Stempel

The paper maps synaptic projections in the mouse midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) to reveal modular output populations that extend the classical columnar framework for understanding behavior control.

DARPP-32 in motor cortex regulates structural and synaptic plasticity in corticothalamic neurons and enables motor learning.

Clarissa Anna Pisanò, Alina Aaltonen, Valeria Spanu, Ayu Tamaki, Gilberto Fisone, Emanuela Santini, Anders Borgkvist

This study shows that DARPP-32 in motor cortex is essential for synaptic plasticity and motor learning by regulating dendritic spines and long-term potentiation in corticothalamic neurons.

Postnatal reduction of eIF4E overexpression in D1-SPNs ameliorates KCNQ dysfunction, hyperexcitability and ASD-like behaviours.

Alina Aaltonen, Ayu Tamaki, Andrés Peris Ramón, Anders Borgkvist, Emanuela Santini

This study shows that reducing eIF4E overexpression in D1-SPNs of adult mice improves KCNQ function, hyperexcitability, and ASD-like behaviors.
