Project description:Understanding the mechanisms by which long-term memories are formed and stored in the brain represents a central aim of neuroscience. Prevailing theory suggests that long-term memory encoding involves early plasticity within hippocampal circuits, while reorganization of the neocortex is thought to occur weeks to months later to subserve remote memory storage. Here we report that long-term memory encoding can elicit early transcriptional, structural and functional remodeling of the neocortex. Parallel studies using genome-wide RNA-sequencing, ultrastructural imaging, and whole-cell recording in wild-type mice suggest that contextual fear conditioning initiates a transcriptional program in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that is accompanied by rapid expansion of the synaptic active zone and postsynaptic density, enhanced dendritic spine plasticity, and increased synaptic efficacy. To address the real-time contribution of the mPFC to long-term memory encoding, we performed temporally precise optogenetic inhibition of excitatory mPFC neurons during contextual fear conditioning. Using this approach, we found that real-time inhibition of the mPFC inhibited activation of the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit and impaired the formation of long-term associative memory. These findings suggest that encoding of long-term episodic memory is associated with early remodeling of neocortical circuits, identify the prefrontal cortex as a critical regulator of encoding-induced hippocampal activation and long-term memory formation, and have important implications for understanding memory processing in healthy and diseased brain states. 4 biological replicates per group were analyzed. The material analyzed was medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; anterior cingulate cortex subregion) from both brain hemispheres, from which total RNA was extracted.

Project description:The integrated stress response (ISR) is a key cellular signaling pathway activated by environmental alterations that represses protein synthesis to restore homeostasis. To prevent sustained damage, the ISR is counteracted by the upregulation of Growth Arrest and DNA Damage inducible 34 (GADD34), a stress-induced regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1 that mediates translation reactivation and stress recovery. Here, we uncover a novel ISR regulatory mechanism that post-transcriptionally controls the stability of PPP1R15A mRNA encoding GADD34. We established that the 3' untranslated region of PPP1R15A mRNA contains an active AU-rich element recognized by proteins of the ZFP36 family, promoting its rapid decay under normal conditions and stabilization for efficient expression of GADD34 in response to stress. We identify the tight temporal control of PPP1R15A mRNA turnover as a key step in establishing the ISR molecular memory, which sets the threshold for cellular responsiveness and mediates adaptation to repeated stress conditions.

Project description:Brain oscillations are remarkable components of brain activity that support memory encoding. However, it remains a major challenge to determine the molecular mechanisms underlining this activity in humans. Here, we used direct intracranial electroencephalography recordings from patients performing free recall tasks of verbal memory encoding in temporal cortex. Using resected tissue transcriptomics from the same patients, we linked gene expression with brain oscillations, identifying genes correlated with oscillatory signatures of memory formation across six frequency bands. Co-expression analysis isolated biomarker-specific modules associated with neuropsychiatric disorders as well as ion channel activity. Using single-nuclei transcriptomic data from resected tissue, we further revealed that biomarker-specific modules are enriched for both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. This unprecedented dataset of patient-specific brain oscillations coupled to genomics unlocks new insights into the genetic mechanisms that support memory encoding. By linking brain expression of these genes to oscillatory patterns, our data help overcome limitations of phenotypic methods to uncover genetic links to memory performance.

Project description:The locus coeruleus noradrenergic (LC-NA) system plays an important role in organizing a physiological response to acute stress. However, if and how the LC affects stress-mediated transcriptomic changes in the brain is still barely understood. Here, we extensively characterize LC mediated transcriptomic response during acute stress in the hippocampus. Combining for the first time bulk mRNA-sequencing and selective chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations of the LC-NA system

Project description:Arabidopsis plants that have experienced stress from water withdrawal show an improved ability to tolerate subsequent exposures as a ‘memory’ from the previous stress. This physiological stress memory is associated with ‘transcriptional memory’ illustrated by a subset of dehydrations stress responding genes that produce significantly different transcript amounts during repeated dehydration stresses relative to their response in the first. Here we report the genome-wide representation of dehydration stress transcriptional memory genes in A. thaliana. We identify four novel transcription patterns in response to repeated dehydration stress treatments. The nature of the proteins encoded by genes from each type of memory-response pattern is analyzed and the consequences of the genes’ memory behavior are considered in the context of possible biological relevance. The memory behavior of genes co-regulated by the dehydration/ABA and other abiotic stress and hormone responding pathways suggested that the crosstalk at the transcriptional level between them was affected as well. The intensity and the nature of specific biochemical, membrane, chloroplast, and stress response-related interactions during multiple exposures to dehydration stress are different from the responses to a single dehydration stress. The results reveal additional, hitherto unknown, levels of complexity of the plants’ transcriptional behavior when adjusting and adapting to recurring water deficits. For each condition (water, S1, and S3) the transcriptome was sequenced for two replicates. The watered condition is considered the control.

Project description:The suppression of fear memory in the absence of danger (fear extinction) requires coordinated neural activity within the amygdala and medial prefrontal (prelimbic and infralimbic) cortex. Any behavior has a transcriptomic signature that is modified by environmental experiences, and specific genes are involved in functional plasticity and synaptic wiring during fear memory and extinction. In the present study, we investigated the effects of optogenetic manipulations of prelimbic pyramidal neurons on amygdala gene expression to analyze the specific transcriptional pathways involved in fear extinction. To this aim, transgenic mice (Thy1-COP4) having cortical and amygdala pyramidal neurons optogenetically excitable were (or not) fear-conditioned. During the extinction phase, the mice received optogenetic (or sham) stimulations to maintain the activation of the prelimbic pyramidal neurons and impair fear extinction. At the end of behavioral testing, electrophysiological (Excitatory Post-Synaptic Currents) and morphological (spinogenesis) correlates were evaluated in the pyramidal neurons of prelimbic cortex. Furthermore, transcriptomic cell-specific RNA-analyses (differential gene expression profiling and functional enrichment analyses) were performed in amygdala pyramidal neurons. Results demonstrate that pyramidal neurons of prelimbic cortex are involved in modulation of the fear responses during extinction phase and their optogenetic stimulation in fear-conditioned mice results in strong modifications of the amygdala transcriptome. Understanding the transcriptomic architecture of fear extinction may facilitate the comprehension of fear-related disorders.

Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana plants that have experienced an initial exposure to dehydration stress (“trained plants”) have an increased ability to maintain leaf relative water content (RWC) during subsequent stresses than plants experiencing the stress for the first time and transcription of selected dehydration response genes is altered during successive exposures to dehydration stress. This physiological and transcriptional behavior of trained plants is consistent with a “memory “of an earlier stress. It is unknown whether such memory is present in other Angiosperm lineages and whether it is an evolutionarily conserved response to stress (see E-GEOD-48235). Here, we analyzed the behavior and transcriptomes of maize (Zea mays) plants experiencing multiple dehydration stresses and compare them with responses of the evolutionarily distant A. thaliana. We found structurally related genes in maize that displayed the same memory-type responses as in A. thaliana, providing evidence of the conservation of function and transcriptional memory in the evolution of plants’ dehydration stress response systems. Similar to A. thaliana, trained Z. mays plants retained higher RWC during dehydration stress than untrained plants, due in part to maintaining reduced stomatal conductance, despite full recovery of RWC, after the first stress. Divergent transcriptional memory responses were also expressed, suggesting diversification of function among stress memory genes. Some dehydration stress memory genes were also shared with other stress and hormone responding pathways, indicating complex and dynamic interactions between different plant signaling networks. The results provide new insight into how plants respond to multiple dehydration stresses and provide a platform for studies of the functions of memory genes in adaptive responses to water deficit in monocot and eudicot plants . For each condition (water, S1, and S3) the transcriptome was sequenced for two replicates. The watered condition is considered the control.
