Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid regulation of depression-related behaviours by control of midbrain dopamine neurons
Dipesh Chaudhury,Jessica J. Walsh,Allyson K. Friedman,Barbara Juarez,Stacy M. Ku,Ja Wook Koo,Deveroux Ferguson,Hsing-Chen Tsai,Lisa E. Pomeranz,Daniel J. Christoffel,Alexander R. Nectow,Mats I. Ekstrand,Ana Domingos,Michelle S. Mazei-Robison,Ezekiell Mouzon,Mary Kay Lobo,Rachael L. Neve,Jeffrey M. Friedman,Scott J. Russo,Karl Deisseroth,Eric J. Nestler,Ming-Hu Han +21 more
TL;DR: It is shown that optogenetic induction of phasic, but not tonic, firing in VTA dopamine neurons of mice undergoing a subthreshold social-defeat paradigm rapidly induced a susceptible phenotype as measured by social avoidance and decreased sucrose preference, which reveals novel firing-pattern- and neural-circuit-specific mechanisms of depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prefrontal Cortical Circuit for Depression- and Anxiety-Related Behaviors Mediated by Cholecystokinin: Role of ΔFosB
Vincent Vialou,Rosemary C. Bagot,Michael E. Cahill,Deveroux Ferguson,Alfred J. Robison,David M. Dietz,Barbara Fallon,Michelle S. Mazei-Robison,Stacy M. Ku,Eileen Harrigan,C. A. Winstanley,Tej Joshi,Jian Feng,Olivier Berton,Eric J. Nestler +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that induction of the transcription factor ΔFosB in mPFC, specifically in the prelimbic (PrL) area, mediates susceptibility to stress, and that social stress-induced behavioral deficits are mediated partly by molecular adaptations inmPFC involving ΔFOSB and CCK through cortical projections to distinct subcortical targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotrophic factors and structural plasticity in addiction.
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of how brain-derived neurotrophic factor and its signaling pathways regulate structural and behavioral plasticity in the context of drug addiction are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear factor kB signaling regulates neuronal morphology and cocaine reward
Scott J. Russo,Matthew Wilkinson,Michelle S. Mazei-Robison,David M. Dietz,Ian Maze,Vaishnav Krishnan,William Renthal,Ami Graham,Shari G. Birnbaum,Thomas A. Green,Bruce Robison,Alan Lesselyong,Linda I. Perrotti,Carlos A. Bolaños,Arvind Kumar,Michael R. Clark,John F. Neumaier,Rachael L. Neve,Asha L. Bhakar,Philip A. Barker,Eric J. Nestler +20 more
TL;DR: A direct role is established for NFκB pathways in the NAc to regulate structural and behavioral plasticity to cocaine and the ability of previous cocaine exposure to increase an animal's preference for cocaine.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-catenin mediates stress resilience through Dicer1/microRNA regulation
Caroline Dias,Jian Feng,HaoSheng Sun,Ning Y.i. Shao,Michelle S. Mazei-Robison,Diane M. Damez-Werno,Kimberly N. Scobie,Rosemary C. Bagot,Benoit Labonté,Efrain Ribeiro,Xiaochuan Liu,Pamela J. Kennedy,Vincent Vialou,Deveroux Ferguson,Catherine Jensen Pena,Erin S. Calipari,Ja W.ook Koo,Ezekiell Mouzon,Subroto Ghose,Carol A. Tamminga,Rachael L. Neve,Li Shen,Eric J. Nestler +22 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that β-catenin mediates proresilient and anxiolytic effects in the nucleus accumbens, a key brain reward region, an effect mediated by D2-type medium spiny neurons.
