TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the characteristics of neural networks in basolateral amygdala and the influences of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) on their dynamics in DBA/2 mice showing anxiety-related genetic defects.

TL;DR: This study studied the issue in the barrel cortex by in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and neural tracing in a mouse model that the simultaneous whisker and olfaction stimulations led to odorant-induced whisker motion and a cross-modal reflex arose.

TL;DR: The upregulated miRNA-324 in associative learning knocks down Ttbk1-mediated Tau phosphorylation and microtubule depolymerization, which drives the balance between polymerization and depolymersization toward the axon prolongation and spine stabilization to initiate new synapse innervations and to recruit associative memory cells.

TL;DR: The data indicate that inhibition of autophagy after SCI potentiates pro-inflammatory activation in microglia and is associated with worse functional outcomes, while increasing autophagic with trehalose, decreased inflammation and improved outcomes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that reward‐induced positive memory relieves mouse anxiety‐related behavior by strengthening synaptic efficacy and PKC in the hippocampus, which imply the underlying cellular and molecular processes involved in the beneficial effects of psychological therapies treating anxiety disorders.
