Impaired Adult Neurogenesis in the Dentate Gyrus of a Triple Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
José J. Rodríguez,Vicky Claire Jones,Masashi Tabuchi,Stuart M. Allan,Elysse M. Knight,Frank M. LaFerla,Salvatore Oddo,Alexei Verkhratsky,Alexei Verkhratsky +8 more
TL;DR: 3xTg-AD mice have an impaired ability to generate new neurones in the DG of the hippocampus, the severity of which increases with age and might be directly associated with the known cognitive impairment observed from 6 months of age onwards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Drive Is Encoded by Neural Plastic Changes in a Dedicated Circuit
TL;DR: An integrator circuit for sleep homeostasis is defined and a mechanism explaining the generation and persistence of sleep drive is provided, indicating that sleep pressure is encoded by plastic changes within this circuit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep Interacts with Aβ to Modulate Intrinsic Neuronal Excitability
TL;DR: These findings directly link sleep loss to changes in neuronal excitability and Aβ accumulation and further suggest that neuronal hyperexcitability is an important mediator of Aβ toxicity, providing a mechanistic framework for a positive feedback loop.
Journal ArticleDOI
WIDE AWAKE mediates the circadian timing of sleep onset.
Sha Liu,Angelique Lamaze,Qili Liu,Masashi Tabuchi,Yong Yang,Melissa A. Fowler,Rajnish Bharadwaj,Julia Zhang,Joseph L. Bedont,Seth Blackshaw,Thomas E. Lloyd,Craig Montell,Amita Sehgal,Kyunghee Koh,Mark N. Wu +14 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that WAKE acts as a clock output molecule specifically for sleep, inhibiting LNvs at dusk to promote the transition from wake to sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branch-specific plasticity of a bifunctional dopamine circuit encodes protein hunger
Qili Liu,Masashi Tabuchi,Sha Liu,Lay Kodama,Wakako Horiuchi,Jay Daniels,Lucinda Chiu,Daniel Baldoni,Mark N. Wu +8 more
TL;DR: A dopamine circuit that encodes protein-specific hunger in Drosophila is identified, and a crucial circuit mechanism by which animals adjust their dietary strategy to maintain protein homeostasis is revealed.
