Impaired parvalbumin interneurons in the retrosplenial cortex as the cause of sex-dependent vulnerability in Alzheimer’s disease Altered function, connectivity, and survival of parvalbumin-expressing neurons in the retrosplenial cortex in Alzheimer’s disease.

🚨New paper from the Epp and Sargin Labs!🚨

We identified early sex- and region-specific impairments to parvalbumin interneurons (PV-INs) during Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathogenesis

A hypothalamic circuit underlying the dynamic control of social homeostasis Nature - New data on brain-wide circuits centred around two interconnected hypothalamic neuron populations provide significant mechanistic insights into the emergence of social need during social...

Our latest findings on social behavior circuits is out: how does the brain responds to social isolation? Terrific work by @dingliu.bsky.social et al. uncovering a circuit with similar neural architecture as physiological needs (hunger, thirst, sleep..). Detailed thread soon.

What’s more, this remodeling could open new doors for Alzheimer’s therapies focused on cognitive resilience!
Congratulations to Guillaume and co-authors, Fanny Tixier, Tatiana Dupak, and Camille Lejards for this tour de force 🫡

Enriched environment requires remodeling of hippocampal perineuronal nets to trigger memory improvement in Alzheimer’s mouse model Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities is believed to reduce cognitive decline...

During his PhD, Guillaume Bouisset uncovered that a brief, 10-day EE experience can enhance both spatial and social memory in AD models... if and only remodeling of hippocampal PV neurons and their PNNs is allowed!

🎡 Enriched environment has shown long-lasting cognitive benefits in Alzheimer’s models, but what drives this "cognitive reserve"? 🤔
