Bidirectional Communication between the Pontine Nucleus Incertus and the Medial Septum Is Carried Out by Electrophysiologically-Distinct Neuronal Populations

Aleksandra Trenk et al.

Summary: Theta oscillations play a key role in memory formation, sensorimotor integration, and control of locomotion and behavioral states. This study investigated the generation and synchronization of theta oscillations in the brain, particularly focusing on the interactions between brain nuclei and the medial septum (MS). The researchers discovered distinct populations of neurons in the pontine nucleus incertus (NI) that fire action potentials in different manners and have different connections with the MS. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms of theta rhythm generation and transmission in the brain.

Functional Neuroanatomy of the Rat Nucleus Incertus-Medial Septum Tract: Implications for the Cell-Specific Control of the Septohippocampal Pathway

Agata Szlaga et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the neural connections between the medial septum (MS) and nucleus incertus (NI) in the rat. The findings reveal a discrete NI neuronal network with specific electrophysiological and neurochemical features that control the MS. These data are important for understanding the neuronal mechanisms underlying the septohippocampal system and related behaviors.

Periaqueductal gray/dorsal raphe dopamine neurons contribute to sex differences in pain-related behaviors

Waylin Yu et al.

Summary: This study reveals that dopamine neurons in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray/dorsal raphe modulate pain-related behaviors differently in male and female mice through projections to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. Activation of these neurons reduces nociceptive sensitivity in males but leads to increased locomotion in females. This suggests a novel ascending circuit for pain relief in males and contextual locomotor response in females.

Involvement of the Nucleus Incertus and Relaxin-3/RXFP3 Signaling System in Explicit and Implicit Memory

Isis Gil-Miravet et al.

Summary: The nucleus incertus (NI) provides strong GABAergic and peptidergic innervation of key brain regions involved in cognition and emotion, serving as a parallel source of ascending modulation in these domains. This review highlights the role of NI transmitter systems in relaying stress- and arousal-related signals to higher neural circuits associated with memory formation and retrieval.
