Glial vesicular transmitter release is not critical for courtship conditioning memory in Drosophila melanogaster

Paola V. Migues, Oliver M. Hardt

This study investigates the role of gliotransmission in Drosophila courtship memory and finds that blocking glial vesicular transmitter release does not affect memory formation, maintenance, or decline.

Imbalance of flight-freeze responses and their cellular correlates in the Nlgn3-/y rat model of autism

Natasha J. Anstey, Vijayakumar Kapgal, Shashank Tiwari, Thomas C. Watson, Anna Karina Hugger Toft, Owen Dando, Felicity H. Inkpen, Paul S. Baxter, Zrinko Kozić, Adam D. Jackson, Xin He, Mohammad Sarfaraz Nawaz, Aiman Kayenaat, Aditi Bhattacharya, David J. A. Wyllie, , Peter C. Kind

The paper examines flight-freeze response imbalances in Nlgn3-/y rats, finding hyperexcitability in periaqueductal grey neurons linked to altered fear behaviors.

Reducing tau ameliorates behavioural and transcriptional deficits in a novel model of Alzheimer’s disease

Eleanor K. Pickett, Abigail G. Herrmann, Jamie McQueen, Kimberly M. Abt, Owen Dando, Jane Tulloch, Pooja Jain, Sophie Louise Dunnett, Sadaf Sohrabi, Maria P. Fjeldstad, Will Calkin, Leo Murison, Rosemary J. Jackson, Makis Tzioras, Anna J. Stevenson, , Tara L. Spires‐Jones

This study shows that reducing tau improves behavioural and transcriptional issues in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting synaptic tau reduction could be a therapeutic strategy.
