Astrocytes amplify neurovascular coupling to sustained activation of neocortex in awake mice

Ádám Institóris, Milène Vandal, Govind Peringod, Christy Catalano, Cam Ha T. Tran, Xinzhu Yu, Frank Visser, Cheryl Breiteneder, Leonardo A. Molina, Baljit S. Khakh, Minh Dang Nguyen, Roger J. Thompson, Grant Robert Gordon

The paper shows that astrocyte Ca2+ signaling amplifies sustained functional hyperemia in awake mice, but not brief responses, through distinct mechanisms.

Impaired Hippocampal-cortical interactions during sleep and memory reactivation without consolidation in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Sarah Danielle Cushing, Ivan Skelin, Shawn C. Moseley, Alina C. Stimmell, Jessica R. Dixon, Andreza S. Melilli, Leonardo A. Molina, Bruce L. McNaughton, Aaron A. Wilber

The paper investigates hippocampal-cortical interactions during sleep in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease and finds reduced SWR-DW coupling correlates with impaired spatial memory.
