Intrinsic Excitability in Layer IV-VI Anterior Insula to Basolateral Amygdala Projection Neurons Correlates with the Confidence of Taste Valence Encoding

Sailendrakumar Kolatt Chandran et al.

Summary: The perceived valence of sensory information can change following conflicting experiences, and the ability to differentiate between novel and familiar tastes is important for survival. The intrinsic properties of deep-lying Layer IV-VI aIC-BLA neurons are modulated by both novelty and valence, reflecting the subjective predictability of taste valence arising from prior experience. These changes in the neuronal profile can be detected after taste experiences, memory retrieval, extinction learning, and reinstatement.

Spatially Distributed Representation of Taste Quality in the Gustatory Insular Cortex of Behaving Mice

Ke Chen et al.

Summary: Visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortices exhibit topographic organization, while the piriform cortex shows sparse distribution of responses to odorants. There is currently debate over the spatial organization of taste responses in the gustatory insular cortex.

A genetically defined insula-brainstem circuit selectively controls motivational vigor

Hanfei Deng et al.

Summary: The anterior insular cortex (aIC) neurons expressing Fezf2 (aIC(Fezf2)) play a key role in signaling motivational vigor and invigorating need-seeking behavior through projections to the brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS). These neurons and their postsynaptic NTS neurons acquire anticipatory activity through learning, encoding the perceived value and vigor of actions to pursue homeostatic needs.

Corticostriatal control of defense behavior in mice induced by auditory looming cues

Zhong Li et al.

Summary: Innate defense behaviors in animals in response to approaching threats are mainly mediated by auditory cortex, superior colliculus, and striatum, and looming sounds trigger specific sequential defensive reactions.

Top-down control of conditioned overconsumption is mediated by insular cortex Nos1 neurons

Sarah A. Stern et al.

Summary: The insular cortex plays a crucial role in regulating conditioned overconsumption in response to learned cues by controlling a specific circuit, which is active during feeding and suppresses satiety signals in the central amygdala.

The Intertwined Evolution and Development of Sutures and Cranial Morphology

Heather E. White et al.

Summary: Phenotypic variation in mammals is influenced by their ecological diversification, with the skull playing a crucial role in supporting species survival. Sutures between cranial bones are important in growth and brain development, shaping overall skull morphology and function. The developmental mechanisms of sutures have a significant impact on cranial diversity and evolutionary patterns.

RGS14 Regulation of Post-Synaptic Signaling and Spine Plasticity in Brain

Nicholas H. Harbin et al.

Summary: RGS14 is a multifunctional signaling protein that regulates post synaptic plasticity in neurons. It integrates multiple signaling pathways at the cellular level to suppress long-term potentiation and structural plasticity, while also possibly influencing spine morphogenesis. Additionally, RGS14 plays a role in behavior and its balance of nuclear shuttling and dendritic spine localization are essential for its neuronal functions.
