Molecular motor KIF3B in the prelimbic cortex constrains the consolidation of contextual fear memory
Joseph N, Zucca A, Wingfield J, Espadas I, Page D, Puthanveettil S
Mol Brain
. 2021 Nov;
14(1):162.
PMID: 34749771
Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the role of the prelimbic cortex in contextual fear memory remain elusive. Here we examined the kinesin family of molecular motor proteins (KIFs) in the...

PMID: 34260917
Synaptic structural plasticity, key to long-term memory storage, requires translation of localized RNAs delivered by long-distance transport from the neuronal cell body. Mechanisms and regulation of this system remain elusive....

32(2):107899.
PMID: 32668253
The prefrontal cortex and amygdala are anatomical substrates linked to both social information and emotional valence processing, but it is not known whether sub-circuits in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)...

PMID: 31804455
Haploinsufficiency for PTEN is a cause of autism spectrum disorder and brain overgrowth; however, it is not known if PTEN mutations disrupt scaling across brain areas during development. To address...

PMID: 29578407
The cholinergic interneurons (CINs) of the striatum are crucial for normal motor and behavioral functions of the basal ganglia. Striatal CINs exhibit tonic firing punctuated by distinct pauses. Pauses occur...

Eur J Neurosci
. 2018 Jan;
47(10):1194-1205.
PMID: 29359362
Behavioural flexibility is crucial for adaptive behaviour, and recent evidence suggests that cholinergic interneurons of the striatum play a distinct role. Previous studies of cholinergic function have focused on strategy...

J Vis Exp
. 2017 Feb;
(119).
PMID: 28191878
Behavioral flexibility is crucial for survival in changing environments. Broadly defined, behavioral flexibility requires a shift of behavioral strategy based on a change in governing rules. We describe a strategy...

J Neurosci
. 2015 Jun;
35(25):9424-31.
PMID: 26109665
The ability to change strategies in different contexts is a form of behavioral flexibility that is crucial for adaptive behavior. The striatum has been shown to contribute to certain forms...
