Specific neuronal subpopulations in the amygdala of macaque monkeys express high levels of nonphosphorylated neurofilaments

Alvaro Duque et al.

Summary: This study investigates the susceptibility of pyramidal neurons expressing NPNF in the neocortex to degeneration in Alzheimer's disease. Analysis of NPNF expression patterns in different nuclei of the primate amygdala revealed the presence of NPNF+ NPNs in the BNC and CNC, with distinct staining patterns observed in different nuclei.

Voltage compartmentalization in dendritic spines in vivo

Victor Hugo Cornejo et al.

Summary: Dendritic spines play a critical role in excitatory neurotransmission in the nervous system. The membrane potentials of spines and dendrites were measured during spontaneous activity and sensory stimulation in mice. Spines and dendrites were depolarized together during action potentials, but experienced different voltages during subthreshold and resting potentials. The regulation of voltage compartmentalization could have important implications for synaptic function and plasticity, dendritic integration, and disease states.

Spindle-Shaped Neurons in the Human Posteromedial (Precuneus) Cortex

Francisco Javier Fuentealba-Villarroel et al.

Summary: This study describes the presence of von Economo neurons (VENs), elongated spindle-shaped neurons, in the posteromedial cortex (PMC) of adult humans. These neurons are found in the anterior and central precuneus (PC) and are involved in emotion, conscious awareness, spatial cognition, and social behavior. The morphology of these VENs and their potential role in higher-order brain activities are discussed, emphasizing the need for further investigation into their neurochemical and transcriptomic characteristics.

Human neocortical expansion involves glutamatergic neuron diversification

Jim Berg et al.

Summary: By studying neurosurgically resected human tissues, researchers have identified diverse glutamatergic neuron types in the neocortex and demonstrated strong correlations between morphological, physiological, and transcriptomic phenotypes. The results provide insight into the increased complexity of cortical function in humans and suggest certain transcriptomic neuron types are selectively vulnerable in diseases like Alzheimer's.

Networks underpinning emotion: A systematic review and synthesis of functional and effective connectivity

Raphael Underwood et al.

Summary: Existing models of emotion processing mainly rely on brain activation data, but assumptions about network connectivity need to be integrated. Studies on effective connectivity reveal context-dependent dynamic modulatory relationships, challenging purely top-down regulatory models.

Variation in Pyramidal Cell Morphology Across the Human Anterior Temporal Lobe

Ruth Benavides-Piccione et al.

Summary: Pyramidal neurons, the most abundant and characteristic type in the cerebral cortex, have been found to exhibit regional differences in morphology within the human cortex. While there are some conserved aspects of pyramidal structure, specific variations across cortical regions and species suggest that structural diversity exists.

Three-Dimensional Synaptic Organization of Layer III of the Human Temporal Neocortex

Nicolas Cano-Astorga et al.

Summary: This study used FIB/SEM to investigate the synaptic organization in human tissue samples, revealing significant differences in synaptic density between autopsy and biopsy samples but a similar asymmetric:symmetric ratio. Synaptic junctions were primarily established on dendritic shafts and spines depending on their type.

Rapid Golgi Stain for Dendritic Spine Visualization in Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex

Maya Frankfurt et al.

Summary: The Golgi impregnation technique with minor adaptations is used to stain dendritic spines in the rat hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex, providing safer and more consistent results compared to previous methods. The staining allows for accurate measurement of spine density and can be applied to study any brain region of interest.

A large-scale nanoscopy and biochemistry analysis of postsynaptic dendritic spines

Martin S. Helm et al.

Summary: Dendritic spines can be classified into mushroom-like and stubby shapes, which exhibit similar average protein copy numbers and topologies but differ in their correlation to synaptic strength. Stubby spines are less likely to respond adequately to dynamic changes in synaptic transmission compared to mushroom spines, possibly leading to their disappearance during brain maturation. This study provides a molecular view of dendritic spines through electron microscopy, quantitative biochemistry, super-resolution microscopy, and 3D molecular visualizations.

Signature morpho-electric, transcriptomic, and dendritic properties of human layer 5 neocortical pyramidal neurons

Brian E. Kalmbach et al.

Summary: This study reveals that human and rodent neocortical L5 ET neurons share many similar morpho-electric properties, with differences being relatively subtle. This suggests a conserved function of L5 ET neurons in the neocortical hierarchy, while also indicating phenotypic divergence, potentially related to functional specialization of the human neocortex.

Amygdala subnuclei development in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: Association with social communication and repetitive behaviors

Diane Seguin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the amygdala subnuclei development in adolescents with ASD and found that they had larger basolateral amygdala volumes compared to typically-developing adolescents. The growth of amygdala subnuclei was associated with ASD symptomatology, indicating potential implications for interventions in adolescents with ASD, especially in social communication skills.

Understanding Emotions: Origins and Roles of the Amygdala

Goran Simic et al.

Summary: Emotions are generated by activations of specific neuronal populations in the cerebral cortex, while feelings are conscious emotional experiences of these activations that contribute to enhancing neuronal networks mediating thoughts, language, and behavior. Contemporary theories of emotion highlight the central role of the amygdala as a subcortical emotional brain structure.

Summary: Human pyramidal neurons in the cortical and subcortical areas display diverse morphological features and distribution that significantly enhance the connectivity and complexity of brain circuits. However, these neurons also have vulnerabilities, making them susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and temporal lobe epilepsy.
