Mashup Score: 4Oxytocin promotes prefrontal population activity via the PVN-PFC pathway to regulate pain - 1 year(s) ago
Liu et al. reveal that oxytocin enhances the population nociceptive response in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex (PL-PFC) to inhibit acute and chronic pain in rats. The oxytocinergic projection from the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus to the PL-PFC regulates pain by altering the excitation-inhibition balance in the PL-PFC.

Mashup Score: 0Brain rhythms have come of age - 1 year(s) ago
Neuronal oscillations offer access to neuronal operations, bringing microscopic and macroscopic mechanisms, experimental methods, and explanations to a common platform. The field of brain rhythms has become the agora of discussions from temporal coordination of neuronal populations within and across brain regions to cognitive phenomena, including language and brain diseases.

Mashup Score: 0Neural knowledge assembly in humans and neural networks - 1 year(s) ago
Our work addresses a perplexing question: how is human understanding of the world dramatically changed by a single new piece of information? Interestingly, by dialing up and down a “certainty” parameter in a neural network model, we can capture the range of successes and failures shown in human participants.

Mashup Score: 2Glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in pontine central gray mediate opposing valence-specific behaviors through a global network - 1 year(s) ago
Xiao et al. find that pontine central gray (PCG) contributes to encoding positive and negative valences through the activity of its GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons, respectively, which mediate sensory-induced reward- and aversion-related behaviors. Thus, PCG may serve as a critical hub for the bottom-up processing of sensory valence preceding the limbic system.

Mashup Score: 2Molecular and cellular mechanisms of the first social relationship: A conserved role of 5-HT from mice to monkeys, upstream of oxytocin - 1 year(s) ago
Maternal affiliation by infants is the first social behavior. Liu et al. have discovered a role for serotonin in this behavior conserved from mice and rats to monkeys. Serotonergic neurons from the raphe nucleus innervates oxytocinergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus with serotonin acting upstream of oxytocin in maternal affiliation.

Mashup Score: 1Development of top-down cortical propagations in youth - 1 year(s) ago
Hierarchical processing requires activity propagating between higher and lower-order cortical areas. However, neuroimaging studies have chiefly quantified fluctuations within fixed regions over time rather than propagations over space. We used recent advances in neuroimaging and computer vision to demonstrate that top-down propagations become more prominent during task demands and over…
