Development of the early fetal human thalamus: from a protomap to emergent thalamic nuclei by Maznah Alhesain, Ayman Alzu’bi, Ayman Alzu’bi, Ayman Alzu’bi, Niveditha Sankar, Niveditha Sankar, Charles Smith, Charles Smith, Janet Kerwin, Ross Laws, Susan Lindsay, Gavin J. Clowry

“…Higher order thalamic nuclei, relaying information between cortical regions and important in higher cognitive function, are greatly expanded.MethodsThis study mapped the emergence of thalamic nuclei in human fetal development (8–16 post conceptional weeks; PCW) by revealing gene expression patterns using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for previously established thalamic development markers.ResultsIn the proliferative thalamic ventricular zone, OLIG3 and NR2F1 immunoreactivity marked the extent of the thalamus, whereas PAX6 and NR2F2 were expressed in gradients, suggesting an early protomap. …”

Parsing the heterogeneity of depression: a data-driven subgroup derived from cognitive function by Chenyang Xu, Yanbao Tao, Yunhan Lin, Jiahui Zhu, Zhuoran Li, Jiayi Li, Mingqia Wang, Tao Huang, Chuan Shi

“…However, a consistent profile of neurocognitive abnormalities in depression remains unclear.ObjectiveWe used data-driven parsing of cognitive performance to reveal subgroups present across depressed individuals and then investigate the change pattern of cognitive subgroups across the course in follow-up.MethodWe assessed cognition in 163 patients with depression using The Chinese Brief Cognitive Test(C-BCT) and the scores were compared with those of 196 healthy controls (HCs). 58 patients were reassessed after 8 weeks. We used K-means cluster analysis to identify cognitive subgroups, and compared clinical variables among these subgroups. …”

Hippocampal Anti-inflammatory Effect of Electroacupuncture at Baihui and Shenting on Cognitive Dysfunction Induced by Systemic Inflammation by CHEN Xiaomei, PANG Lina, WANG Zhifu

“…ObjectiveTo investigate the hippocampal anti-inflammatory mechanism of electroacupuncture at Baihui and Shenting on cognitive dysfunction induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneal injection.MethodsA total of 45 clean grade adult C57BL/6 male mice (bodyweight 18-22 g) were randomly divided into control group, endotoxic brain injury group (model group) and endotoxic brain injury + electroacupuncture group (EA group). After one week of adaptive feeding, 15 min before LPS injection, the EA group was given 10 Hz electrical stimulation at Baihui and Shenting acupoints, the intensity was 0.5 mA. 15 min after electrical stimulation, the model group and EA group were intraperitoneally injected LPS (1 mg/kg), the control group was given equal volume of solvent injection. 15 min before LPS injection and 24 h after LPS injection, the EA group was given the same electric stimulation for 15 min, and then the “what-where-when” behavioral test was performed to record the memory ability on the time, place and order of objects. …”
