Cholinergic activity reflects reward expectations and predicts behavioral responses

Panna Hegedus et al.

Summary: Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons have an important role in associative learning and processing stimuli that predict future outcomes. This study used calcium imaging and spiking recordings to investigate the impact of outcome probabilities on these neurons in mice. The results showed that the cholinergic neurons responded more strongly to sensory cues that were often paired with reward, and reward delivery activated the neurons, with surprising rewards generating a stronger response. The findings suggest that the cholinergic neurons differentially weigh predictions of positive and negative reinforcement, reflecting the relative salience of appetitive and aversive outcomes.

Characterization of social behavior in young and middle-aged ChAT-IRES-Cre mouse

Cyril Lhopitallier et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of the cholinergic system in social behavior using ChAT-IRES-Cre mice. The research found that the expression of choline acetyltransferase, choline transporter, and vesicular acetylcholine transporter genes decreased in the striatum of the mice, accompanied by mild social disturbances and a tendency towards anxiety. Aging also decreased social dominance, but it was not amplified by the cholinergic alterations.

The basal forebrain volume reduction detected by MRI does not necessarily link with the cholinergic neuronal loss in the Alzheimer's disease mouse model

Xiaoqing Alice Zhou et al.

Summary: Degeneration of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain (BF) is a contributing factor to cognitive impairment. However, the volume changes measured by structural MRI in the BF do not directly reflect the changes in cholinergic neurons.

Prenatal interleukin 6 elevation increases glutamatergic synapse density and disrupts hippocampal connectivity in offspring

Filippo Mirabella et al.

Summary: The study suggests that early prenatal inflammatory conditions might lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, with IL-6 elevation during pregnancy impacting offspring behavior and altering synaptic developmental trajectories. IL-6 activates gene programs in glutamatergic neurons and requires STAT3 and RGS4 gene expression to influence glutamatergic synaptogenesis. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for understanding the association between prenatal inflammatory events and brain neurodevelopmental disorders.

Diffusion MRI detects basal forebrain cholinergic abnormalities in the 3xTg-AD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Maria Fatima Falangola et al.

Summary: This study found significant differences in dMRI values in the BF of 2-month-old 3xTg-AD mice compared to normal control mice, as well as age-related changes between 2 and 8 months, including a decrease in fractional anisotropy and axial diffusivity, and an increase in radial kurtosis. These dMRI changes likely reflect the complex aging and pathological microstructural changes described in this region, and could serve as potential in vivo biomarkers for AD disease progression.

The effect of aging and chronic microglia activation on the morphology and numbers of the cerebellar Purkinje cells

Ryan Childs et al.

Summary: In this study, increased microglial activation and neurodegenerative changes were observed in the cerebellum of GFAP-IL6 mice compared to their wild-type counterparts. Aging and chronic inflammation led to a decrease in the number of Purkinje cells and a reduction in dendritic complexity. The presence of constitutive IL6 production driving chronic neuroinflammation may explain the more profound neurodegenerative changes in GFAP-IL6 mice.

Pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 signaling links cognitive impairments and peripheral metabolic alterations in Alzheimer's disease

Natalia M. Lyra e Silva et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is associated with cognitive impairment and metabolic alterations, with mounting evidence suggesting that abnormal signaling in a brain-periphery metabolic axis plays a crucial role in its pathophysiology. The IL-6 pathway may serve as a key link between memory dysfunction and metabolic changes in AD. Targeting pro-inflammatory IL-6 signaling could be a strategy to alleviate memory impairment and metabolic alterations in the disease.

Summary: Microglia play crucial roles in neuroinflammation, undergoing rapid changes and impacting the brain's susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases during infection, trauma, and aging. Despite advances in the field, drug treatment success rates for age-related and neurodegenerative diseases remain low, potentially due to issues in translating findings from animal models to clinical settings.

Sudden cessation of fluoxetine before alcohol drinking reinstatement alters microglial morphology and TLR4/inflammatory neuroadaptation in the rat brain

Jesus Aranda et al.

Summary: Preclinical studies have shown that discontinuation of SSRIs leads to increased alcohol consumption after resuming drinking in AUD patients. Despite the immunomodulatory role of serotonin, the potential neuroinflammatory component of this escalation remains unexplored. Using a rat model, it was found that fluoxetine cessation after alcohol reinstatement altered microglial morphology in a region-specific manner, potentially contributing to alcohol-induced damage through the promotion of escalated drinking behavior.

Role of IL-6 in the regulation of neuronal development, survival and function

Kai K. Kummer et al.

Summary: IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that can have both beneficial and destructive effects on neurons, depending on their environment and location. It plays a critical role in inflammation and is also emerging as an important regulator of neuron function in health and disease, offering potential insights into the pathogenesis of various disorders and the development of novel therapies.
