TLDR
The most recent advances in studies of mTOR signaling in the brain and the possible mechanisms underlying the many different functions of the mTOR complexes in neurological diseases are described and the medical relevance is discussed.Abstract:
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) acts as a highly conserved signaling "hub" that integrates neuronal activity and a variety of synaptic inputs. mTOR is found in two functionally distinct complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, that crucially control long-term synaptic efficacy and memory storage. Dysregulation of mTOR signaling is associated with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. In this Review, we describe the most recent advances in studies of mTOR signaling in the brain and the possible mechanisms underlying the many different functions of the mTOR complexes in neurological diseases. In addition, we discuss the medical relevance of these findings.read more

Antidepressant-like effect induced by P2X7 receptor blockade in FSL rats is associated with BDNF signalling activation.
Deidiane Elisa Ribeiro,Heidi Kaastrup Müller,Betina Elfving,Amanda Eskelund,Samia Rl Joca,Samia Rl Joca,Gregers Wegener +6 more
TL;DR: P2X7R blockade induces an antidepressant-like effect associated with increased levels of BDNF-AKT-p70 S6 kinase in the ventral hippocampus, which may be mediated by tropomyosin-related kinase B (TRKB) receptor activation supporting the notion of P2X8R antagonism as a potential new antidepressant strategy.

Acinus integrates AKT1 and subapoptotic caspase activities to regulate basal autophagy
TL;DR: In Drosophila, AKT1 and the Dcp-1 caspase calibrate basal autophagy levels and cellular metabolism by regulating Acn stability.

Hypoxia affects Slc7a5 expression through HIF-2α in differentiated neuronal cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hypoxic conditions result in upregulated expression of Slc7a5 in differentiated neuronal cells (Neuro2A cells induced to differentiate using all‐trans retinoic acid), indicating that Slc 7a5 may be a novel gene responsive to hypoxia in a HIF‐2α‐dependent manner in differentiated neurons.

Binge-like ethanol treatment in adolescence impairs autophagy and hinders synaptic maturation: Role of TLR4.
TL;DR: The role of autophagy dysfunctions in the structural synaptic plasticity alterations induced by binge alcohol in adolescence is suggested, and the participation of the TLR4 response in these events is supported.

Increased expression of the PI3K catalytic subunit p110δ underlies elevated S6 phosphorylation and protein synthesis in an individual with autism from a multiplex family.
TL;DR: Using this approach, impaired signaling and protein synthesis through the PI3K catalytic subunit p110δ is discovered as an underlying molecular defect and potential treatment target in select autism spectrum disorders.

TL;DR: It is shown that rapamycin inhibits the assembly of mTORC2 and that, in many cell types, prolongedRapamycin treatment reduces the levels of m TORC2 below those needed to maintain Akt/PKB signaling.
