Species Divergence in Oxytocin-Dependent Yawning on a Conserved Glutamatergic Erection CircuitNARA Subscribed
Yawning coupled with penile erection is a conserved neurobehavioral syndrome mediated by the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH). However, the distinct roles of oxytocin and its co-transmitters remain unresolved. Using chemogenetics, we showed that activation of PVH oxytocin neurons was sufficient to elicit both responses, whereas silencing these neurons abolished them. Viral tracing revealed that these neurons project collater...
Unveiling the “Glycolysis-Lactate-Lactylation” Axis: A Novel Target in Ischemic Cerebrovascular DiseaseNARA Subscribed
Ischemic cerebrovascular disease involves complex interactions between metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation. Recent studies indicate that enhanced glycolysis and lactate accumulation under hypoxic conditions not only maintain cell viability by supplying energy but also participate in disease regulation through lactylation. Lactylation regulates gene expression, immune polarization, metabolic enzyme activity, and a...
A Cysteinyl-tRNA Synthetase Mutation Causes Novel Autosomal-Dominant Inheritance of a Parkinsonism/Spinocerebellar-Ataxia ComplexNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to identify possible pathogenic genes in a 90-member family with a rare combination of multiple neurodegenerative disease phenotypes, which has not been depicted by the known neurodegenerative disease. We performed physical and neurological examinations with International Rating Scales to assess signs of ataxia, Parkinsonism, and cognitive function, as well as brain magnetic resonance imaging scans with seven...
The accumulation of pathological α-synuclein (α-syn) in the central nervous system and the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta are the neuropathological features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, the findings of prion-like transmission of α-syn pathology have expanded our understanding of the region-specific distribution of α-syn in PD patients. Accumulating evidence suggests tha...
Chronic Exposure to Hypoxia Inhibits Myelinogenesis and Causes Motor Coordination Deficits in Adult MiceNARA Subscribed
Exposure to chronic hypoxia is considered to be a risk factor for deficits in brain function in adults, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Since active myelinogenesis persists in the adult central nervous system, here we aimed to investigate the impact of chronic hypoxia on myelination and the related functional consequences in adult mice. Using a transgenic approach to label newly-generated myelin sheaths (...
