Defective callosal termination underlies the long-term behavioral deficits in NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis mouse model

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Jing Zhou, Ariele Greenfield, Rita Loudermilk, Christopher Bartley, Baouyen Tran, Chao Zhao, Hong Wang, Michael Wilson and Samuel Pleasure | Summary: NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is characterized by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-resident anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies that cause a wide range of neurological manifestations. Although many symptoms are responsive to […]

Dual credit assignment processes underlie dopamine signals in a complex spatial environment

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke, Loren Frank | Authors: Timothy Amos Krausz, Alison E. Comrie, Loren M. Frank, Nathaniel Douglass Daw and Joshua D. Berke | Summary: Dopamine in the nucleus accumbens helps motivate behavior based on expectations of future reward (“values”). These values need to be updated by experience: after receiving reward, the choices that […]

Organization and Plasticity of Inhibition in Hippocampal Recurrent Circuits

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Bert Vancura, Tristan Geiller and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Excitatory-inhibitory interactions structure recurrent network dynamics for efficient cortical computations. In the CA3 area of the hippocampus, recurrent circuit dynamics, including experience-induced plasticity at excitatory synapses, are thought to play a key role in episodic memory encoding and consolidation via […]
