Binding of HCN channels to GABAB receptors in dopamine neurons of the VTA limits synaptic inhibition and prevents the development of anxiety by Enrique Pérez-Garci, Kateryna Pysanenko, Giorgio Rizzi, Florian Studer, Daniel Ulrich, Thorsten Fritzius, Simon Früh, Alessandra Porcu, Valérie Besseyrias, Adolf Melichar, Martin Gassmann, Tania Rinaldi Barkat, Rostislav Tureček, Kelly R. Tan, Bernhard Bettler

“…Consequently, disruption of the GBR/HCN complex in KCTD16−/− mice leads to prolonged optogenetic inhibition of DAVTA neuron firing. KCTD16−/− mice exhibit increased anxiety-like behavior in response to stress - a behavior replicated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated KCTD16 ablation in DAVTA neurons or by intra-VTA infusion of an HCN antagonist in wild-type mice. …”

Impairment of neuronal activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex occurs early in parkinsonism by Noah Hjelle, Biswaranjan Mohanty, Tanner Hubbard, Matthew D. Johnson, Jing Wang, Luke A. Johnson, Jerrold L. Vitek

“…Little is known, however, regarding how neuronal activity in the executive control network of the brain changes in the parkinsonian condition.ObjectiveInvestigate the impact of parkinsonism on neuronal activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a key region in executive control, during a go/nogo reaching task.MethodsUsing a within-subject design, single and multi-unit neuronal activity was recorded in the DLPFC of a nonhuman primate (n = 1) before and after the induction of mild parkinsonism using the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).ResultsCoincident with development of mild parkinsonian motor signs, there was a marked reduction in the percentage of DLPFC cells with significant task-related firing rate modulation during go and nogo conditions.ConclusionThese results suggest that DLPFC dysfunction may occur early in parkinsonism and contribute to cognitive impairments and disrupted executive function often observed in PD patients.…”
