Pou3f1 accomplishes this role via its action in specific prefrontal projection neurons that regulate behaviors associated with low social status.

However, the timing of cell fate acquisition among these cells varies depending on their identity. Fisher and colleagues also identify distinct molecular programs governing the diversification of GABAergic long-range projection neurons and interneurons.

García-Verdugo, Vicente Herranz-Pérez, Joshua G. Corbin, Shawn F. Sorrells Similar to humans, mice have a paralaminar amygdala region containing immature excitatory neurons. These neurons are not produced by ongoing neurogenesis but are born embryonically and delay their maturation. In juvenile-adolescent ages, some migrate into the nearby cortex, and others begin to mature locally, developing selective responses to olfactory stimuli.

Piantadosi, Zhe Charles Zhou, Carina Pizzano, Christian E. Pedersen, Tammy K. Nguyen, Sarah Thai, Garret D. Stuber, Michael R. Bruchas The amygdala is a critical brain locus for valence encoding and the expression of valence-specific behavior. Piantadosi et al. report that optically separable valence-encoding ensembles are mutually inhibitory and can be precisely manipulated via multiphoton holographic stimulation producing bidirectional changes in consummatory behavior.

Pou3f1 expression level in mPFC-VTA neurons regulates social hierarchy. [Disinhibition by VIP interneurons is orthogonal to cross-modal attentional modulation in primary visual cortex](%2F%2Fwww.cell.com%2Fneuron%2Ffulltext%2FS0896-6273(23)00879-6%3Fdgcid=raven_jbs_etoc_email/1/0100018dcca07225-18d7928f-49d4-4858-b4f7-b3aa1076297a-000000/uNv66ELPXvTcDNH7dn3jGn2SYz8M3Vxr8OMAipA6zO0=341) Dylan Myers-Joseph, Katharina A. Wilmes, Marian Fernandez-Otero, Claudia Clopath, Adil G. Khan Open Access Attentional modulation of sensory processing is a critical aspect of cognition, but its neural circuit basis is poorly understood. Previous work implicates VIP interneurons as critical to this modulation. Myers-Joseph et al. demonstrate that modulations by VIP interneurons and attention are in fact orthogonal, allowing multiplexing diverse signals in V1.

Pattadkal, Boris V. Zemelman, Ila Fiete, Nicholas J. Priebe Sensory circuits show high sensitivity to signals of interest even in noisy, changing environments. Pattadkal et al. place constraints on the circuitry for amplification using calcium imaging and electrophysiology in marmoset area MT. Different circuits for amplification are characterized by distinct dynamics. Area MT dynamics match a balanced amplification circuit.

Adams, Anne Maass, William J. Jagust, Michael Breakspear Open Access The core pathologies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) arise in spatially distinct areas of the brain. We provide a mechanistic account for how this occurs, showing that local AD pathology impacts the function of brain networks. This dysfunction in cortical processing cascades across the brain, precipitating further pathological changes.
