The study from the Pozzo-Miller lab, “Ventral hippocampal projections to the medial prefrontal cortex regulate social memory,” was recently published in eLife. Pozzo mentored Mary Phillips, Ph.D., who ...

Instead, the signal from the medial subregion of the dorsal habenula (dHbM) to the ventral IPN (vIPN) was enhanced. The signal in the loser ultimately spread to the median raphe (MR).

These scans show how alcohol-induced aggression was related to decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex, caudate, and ventral striatum, but increased activity in the hippocampus.

To do this, the team prevented cells in the ventral tegmental area of the brain from releasing dopamine into another region called the lateral septum, a site known to regulate aggression.

Rodent medial prefrontal cortex is not crucial for an active place avoidance task requiring cognitive control evidenced by hippocampal activity that purposefully alternates between task-relevant and ...

The glycinergic neurons we have identified in the ventral medial medulla could be a good target for drug therapies for people with narcolepsy, cataplexy, or REM sleep behavior disorder.

Thirty-three of the 121 participants had an injury to the medial prefrontal cortex, 17 had an injury elsewhere in the brain, while 71 had no brain damage but were of the same age as the others.

Overall, the experiments showed these special circuits control muscle atonia in both REM sleep and cataplexy. "The glycinergic neurons we have identified in the ventral medial medulla could be a good ...
