Hippocampal cell- and circuit-specific differences in mitochondrial form and function

Mayd M. Alsalman, L. H. Turner, Katy E. Pannoni, Renesa Tarannum, Rutvi Desai, Sharon A. Swanger, Shannon Farris

The paper compares mitochondrial morphology and function in hippocampal CA1 and CA2 circuits, finding cell-type and input-specific differences that may influence circuit properties and disease vulnerability.

Multiplexed smFISH reveals the spatial organization of neuropil localized mRNAs is linked to abundance

Renesa Tarannum, Grace Mun, Fatima Quddos, Sharon A. Swanger, Oswald Steward, Shannon Farris

The paper uses multiplexed smFISH to analyze the spatial organization of 15 synaptic neuropil localized mRNAs in rodent hippocampus, finding that colocalization patterns scale with mRNA abundance.

MCU-enriched dendritic mitochondria regulate plasticity in distinct hippocampal circuits

Katy E. Pannoni, Quentin S. Fischer, Renesa Tarannum, Mikel L. Cawley, Mayd M. Alsalman, Nicole Acosta, Chisom Ezigbo, Daniela V. Gil, Logan A. Campbell, Shannon Farris

This study shows that MCU regulates synaptic plasticity specifically at CA2 distal dendrites by maintaining mitochondrial morphology and distribution, with loss of MCU causing LTP deficits and mitochondrial fragmentation.
