Preterm birth remains a significant global health concern despite advancements in neonatal care. While survival rates have increased, the long-term neurodevelopmental consequences of preterm birth persist. Notably, the profile of the preterm infant has shifted, with infants at earlier gestational ages surviving and decreased rates of gross structural injury secondary to intracranial hemorrhage. However, these infants are still vulnerable to insults, including hypoxia-ischemia, inflammation, and disrupted in utero development, impinging on critical developmental processes, which can lead to neuronal and oligodendrocyte injury and impaired brain function. Consequently, preterm infants often experience a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as cognitive impairment and behavioral problems. Here, we address mechanisms underlying preterm brain injury and explore existing and new investigational therapeutic strategies. We discuss how gestational age influences brain development and how interventions, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, mitigate the effects of preterm birth complications and improve the long-term outcomes of preterm infants.

Sensory-motor integration is crucial in the processing of chronic pain. The primary motor cortex (M1) is emerging as a promising target for chronic pain treatment. However, it remains elusive how nociceptive sensory inputs influence M1 activity and how rectifying M1 defects, in turn, regulates pain processing at cellular and network levels. We show that injury/inflammation leads to hypoactivity of M1Glu pyramidal neurons by excitation-inhibition imbalance between the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and the M1. The impaired M1 output further weakens inputs to excitatory parvalbumin neurons of the lateral hypothalamus (LHPV) and impairs the descending inhibitory system, hence exacerbating spinal nociceptive sensitivity. When rectifying M1 defects with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), the imbalance of the S1-M1 microcircuitry can be effectively reversed, which aids in restoring the ability of the M1 to trigger the descending inhibitory system, thereby alleviating nociceptive hypersensitivity. Thus, a sensory-motor-sensory loop is identified for pain-related interactions between the sensory and motor systems and can be potentially exploited for treating chronic pain.
感觉-运动整合在慢性疼痛的加工过程中是至关重要的。初级运动皮层(M1)正在成为慢性疼痛治疗的一个有希望的目标。然而,伤害性感觉输入如何影响M1活动,以及纠正M1缺陷如何反过来在细胞和网络水平上调节疼痛加工,这仍然是难以捉摸的。我们发现,损伤/炎症通过初级体感觉皮层(S1)和M1之间的兴奋-抑制不平衡导致M1Glu锥体神经元活性降低。受损的M1输出进一步削弱了对外侧下丘脑(LHPV)兴奋性小白蛋白神经元的输入,损害了下行抑制系统,从而加剧了脊髓伤害性敏感性。重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)矫正M1缺陷时,S1-M1微电路的不平衡可以有效逆转,有助于恢复M1触发下行抑制系统的能力,从而减轻伤害性超敏反应。因此,感觉-运动-感觉回路被确定为感觉和运动系统之间与疼痛相关的相互作用,并且可以潜在地用于治疗慢性疼痛。

Puberty onset in mammals requires adequate energy stores, but how hypothalamic neurons regulating reproduction obtain information on food availability is unclear. In this issue of Neuron, Goto et al.1 show that hypothalamic neurons expressing agouti-related peptides, which are hunger sensors, control the maturation of kisspeptin neurons, the principal stimulators of reproduction.

Neurons are long-lived postmitotic cells that capitalize on autophagy to remove toxic or defective proteins and organelles to maintain neurotransmission and the integrity of their functional proteome. Mutations in autophagy genes cause congenital diseases, sharing prominent brain dysfunctions including epilepsy, intellectual disability, and neurodegeneration. Ablation of core autophagy genes in neurons or glia disrupts normal behavior, leading to motor deficits, memory impairment, altered sociability, and epilepsy, which are associated with defects in synapse maturation, plasticity, and neurotransmitter release. In spite of the importance of autophagy for brain physiology, the substrates of neuronal autophagy and the mechanisms by which defects in autophagy affect synaptic function in health and disease remain controversial. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge on neuronal autophagy, address the existing controversies and inconsistencies in the field, and provide a roadmap for future research on the role of autophagy in the control of synaptic function.

Structural basis for channel gating and blockade in tri-heteromeric GluN1-2B-2D NMDA receptor.
IF 14.7 1区 医学 Q1 NEUROSCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-04-02 Epub Date: 2025-02-14 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2025.01.013

Discrete activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subtypes by glutamate and the co-agonist glycine is fundamental to neuroplasticity. A distinct variant, the tri-heteromeric receptor, comprising glycine-binding GluN1 and two types of glutamate-binding GluN2 subunits, exhibits unique pharmacological characteristics, notably enhanced sensitivity to the anti-depressant channel blocker S-(+)-ketamine. Despite its significance, the structural mechanisms underlying ligand gating and channel blockade of tri-heteromeric NMDARs remain poorly understood. Here, we identify and characterize tri-heteromeric GluN1-2B-2D NMDAR in the adult brain, resolving its structures in the activated, inhibited, and S-(+)-ketamine-blocked states. These structures reveal the ligand-dependent conformational dynamics that modulate the tension between the extracellular domain and transmembrane channels, governing channel gating and blockade. Additionally, we demonstrate that the inhibitor (S)-DQP-997-74 selectively decouples linker tension in GluN2D, offering insights into subtype-selective targeting for cognitive modulation.

Integrating analyses of genetically defined cell types with population-level approaches remains poorly explored. We investigated this question by focusing on hippocampal spatial maps and the contribution of two genetically defined pyramidal cell types in the deep and superficial CA1 sublayers. Using single- and dual-color miniscope imaging in mice running along a linear track, we found that population activity from these cells exhibited three-dimensional ring manifolds that encoded the animal position and running direction. Despite shared topology, sublayer-specific manifolds displayed distinct geometric features. Manipulating track orientation revealed rotational and translational changes in manifolds from deep cells, contrasting with more stable representations by superficial cells. These transformations were not observed in manifolds derived from the entire CA1 population. Instead, cell-type-specific chemogenetic silencing of either sublayer revealed independent geometric codes. Our results show how genetically specified subpopulations may underpin parallel spatial maps that can be manipulated independently.

Universal statistics of hippocampal place fields across species and dimensionalities.

Hippocampal place cells have single, bell-shaped place fields in small environments. Recent experiments, however, reveal that, in large environments, place cells have multiple fields with heterogeneous shapes and sizes. We show that this diversity is explained by a surprisingly simple mathematical model, in which place fields are generated by thresholding a realization of a random Gaussian process. The model captures the statistics of field arrangements and generates new quantitative predictions about the statistics of field shapes and topologies. These predictions are quantitatively verified in bats and rodents, in one, two, and three dimensions, in both small and large environments. These results imply that common mechanisms underlie the diverse statistics observed in different experiments and further suggest that synaptic projections to CA1 are predominantly random.
