Valence-dependent synaptic plasticity drives approach and avoidance behavior in social context

Pedro Espinosa, Benôıt Girard, Mattia Lucchini, Federica Campanelli, Valentina Tiriticco, Lucy Mohrhauer, Camilla Bellone

The paper identifies a circuit linking AIC and NAc neurons that encode social interaction valence, leading to distinct synaptic plasticity and behavior.

Superior Colliculus to VTA pathway controls orienting response to conspecific stimuli.

Clément Solié, Alessandro Contestabile, Pedro Espinosa, Stefano Musardo, Sebastiano Bariselli, Chieko Huber, Alan Carleton, Camilla Bellone

This study identifies a Superior Colliculus to VTA neural pathway that controls orienting responses to conspecifics by activating specific dopamine neurons.

Optogenetic stimulation of BLA terminals in the BNST elicits long term synaptic plasticity and restores synaptic alterations induced by adolescent Shank3 downregulation

Christelle Glangetas, Alessandro Contestabile, Pedro Espinosa, Giulia Casarotto, Stefano Musardo, Camilla Bellone

This study investigates the role of Shank3 in anxiety behaviors by downregulating it in the BNST during adolescence and shows its impact on synaptic plasticity and anxiety-related behaviors.

Deficit in motor skill learning-dependent synaptic plasticity at motor cortex to Dorso Lateral Striatum synapses in a mouse model of Huntington's disease

Christelle Glangetas, Pedro Espinosa, Camilla Bellone

This study identifies impaired motor skill learning-dependent synaptic plasticity at motor cortex to DLS synapses in a YAC128 HD mouse model, suggesting it as an early biomarker for Huntington's disease.

Basal forebrain gating by somatostatin neurons drives cortical activity

Nelson Espinosa, Alejandra Alonso, Cristián Morales, Pedro Espinosa, Andrés E. Chávez, Pablo Fuentealba

This study shows that somatostatin neurons in the basal forebrain regulate cortical activity and behavior by modulating synaptic output.
