Thalamo-hippocampal pathway regulates incidental memory capacity in mice.

ABSTRACT: Incidental memory can be challenged by increasing either the retention delay or the memory load. The dorsal hippocampus (dHP) appears to help with both consolidation from short-term (STM) to long-term memory (LTM), and higher memory loads, but the mechanism is not fully understood. Here we find that female mice, despite having the same STM capacity of 6 objects and higher resistance to distraction in our different object recognition task (DOT), when tested over 1 h or 24 h delays appear to transfer to LTM only 4 objects, whereas male mice have an STM capacity of 6 objects in this task. In male mice the dHP shows greater activation (as measured by c-Fos expression), whereas female mice show greater activation of the ventral midline thalamus (VMT). Optogenetic inhibition of the VMT-dHP pathway during off-line memory consolidation enables 6-object LTM retention in females, while chemogenetic VMT-activation impairs it in males. Thus, removing or enhancing sub-cortical inhibitory control over the hippocampus leads to differences in incidental memory.

Plasticity at Thalamo-amygdala Synapses Regulates Cocaine-Cue Memory Formation and Extinction.

Project description:Repeated drug use has long-lasting effects on plasticity throughout the brain's reward and memory systems. Environmental cues that are associated with drugs of abuse can elicit craving and relapse, but the neural circuits responsible for driving drug-cue-related behaviors have not been well delineated, creating a hurdle for the development of effective relapse prevention therapies. In this study, we used a cocaine+cue self-administration paradigm followed by cue re-exposure to establish that the strength of the drug cue association corresponds to the strength of synapses between the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) of the thalamus and the lateral amygdala (LA). Furthermore, we demonstrate, via optogenetically induced LTD of MGN-LA synapses, that reversing cocaine-induced potentiation of this pathway is sufficient to inhibit cue-induced relapse-like behavior.

Kat2a regulates hippocampal memory formation [RNA-seq]

Project description:We sequenced mRNA from 24 samples extracted from mouse CA1 tissue to generate the first CA1-specific murine transcriptome and the first CA1-transcriptome in response to environmental novelty under normal and Kat2a-loss-of-function conditions. Samples were divded in 4 groups: A: Control naM-CM-/ve (n=6), B: control novelty-exposed (n=5), C: Kat2a cKO naM-CM-/ve (n=6), D: Kat2a cKO novelty-exposed (n=7). Pairwise comparisons for AvsB, AvsC, BvsD and CvsD were performed using DESeq2.

The hippocampal FTO-BDNF-TrkB pathway is required for novel object recognition memory reconsolidation in mice.

Project description:Memory reconsolidation refers to the process by which the consolidated memory was restored after reactivation (RA). Memory trace becomes labile after reactivation and inhibition of memory reconsolidation may disrupt or update the original memory trace, which provided a new strategy for the treatment of several psychiatric diseases, such as drug addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder. Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is a novel demethylase of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and it has been intensively involved in learning and memory. However, the role of FTO in memory reconsolidation has not been determined. In the present study, the function of FTO in memory reconsolidation was investigated in the novel object recognition (NOR) model in mice. The results showed that RA of NOR memory increased hippocampal FTO expression in a time-dependent manner, while FTO inhibitor meclofenamic acid (MA) injected immediately, but not 6 h after RA disrupted NOR memory reconsolidation. MA downregulated BDNF expression during NOR memory reconsolidation in the hippocampus, while the TrkB agonist 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) reversed the disruptive effects of MA on NOR memory reconsolidation. Furthermore, overexpression of FTO increased BDNF expression via decreasing mRNA m6A in HT22 cells. Taken together, these results indicate that FTO may up-regulate the BDNF-TrkB pathway to promote NOR memory reconsolidation through m6A modification.

Acetyl-CoA synthetase regulates histone acetylation and hippocampal memory.

Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, but the precise mechanisms of this process are largely unknown. Here we show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) directly regulates histone acetylation in neurons and spatial memory in mammals. In a neuronal cell culture model, ACSS2 increases in the nuclei of differentiating neurons and localizes to upregulated neuronal genes near sites of elevated histone acetylation. A decrease in ACSS2 lowers nuclear acetyl-CoA levels, histone acetylation, and responsive expression of the cohort of neuronal genes. In adult mice, attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process that relies on histone acetylation. A decrease in ACSS2 in the hippocampus also leads to defective upregulation of memory-related neuronal genes that are pre-bound by ACSS2. These results reveal a connection between cellular metabolism, gene regulation, and neural plasticity and establish a link between acetyl-CoA generation 'on-site' at chromatin for histone acetylation and the transcription of key neuronal genes.

Presenilin-1 Dependent Neurogenesis Regulates Hippocampal Learning and Memory.

Project description:Presenilin-1 (PS1), the catalytic core of the aspartyl protease γ-secretase, regulates adult neurogenesis. However, it is not clear whether the role of neurogenesis in hippocampal learning and memory is PS1-dependent, or whether PS1 loss of function in adult hippocampal neurogenesis can cause learning and memory deficits. Here we show that downregulation of PS1 in hippocampal neural progenitor cells causes progressive deficits in pattern separation and novelty exploration. New granule neurons expressing reduced PS1 levels exhibit decreased dendritic branching and dendritic spines. Further, they exhibit reduced survival. Lastly, we show that PS1 effect on neurogenesis is mediated via β-catenin phosphorylation and notch signaling. Together, these observations suggest that impairments in adult neurogenesis induce learning and memory deficits and may play a role in the cognitive deficits observed in Alzheimer's disease.

Mechanisms by which autophagy regulates memory capacity in ageing.

Project description:Autophagy agonists have been proposed to slow down neurodegeneration. Spermidine, a polyamine that acts as an autophagy agonist, is currently under clinical trial for the treatment of age-related memory decline. How Spermidine and other autophagy agonists regulate memory and synaptic plasticity is under investigation. We set up a novel mouse model of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in which middle-aged (12-month-old) mice exhibit impaired memory capacity, lysosomes engulfed with amyloid fibrils (β-amyloid and α-synuclein) and impaired task-induced GluA1 hippocampal post-translation modifications. Subchronic treatment with Spermidine as well as the autophagy agonist TAT-Beclin 1 rescued memory capacity and GluA1 post-translational modifications by favouring the autophagy/lysosomal-mediated degradation of amyloid fibrils. These findings provide new mechanistic evidence on the therapeutic relevance of autophagy enhancers which, by improving the degradation of misfolded proteins, slow down age-related memory decline.
