Identification of an engram ensemble mediating memory forgetting in the dentate gyrus
How the memory engram is organized at the cell-assembly level to support not only encoding of learned information but also memory flexibility remains elusive. Here, we propose a novel engram model encoded by two orthogonal learning-recruited neuronal ensembles in the mouse dentate gyrus. Reactivation of the Fos-tagged ensemble promotes memory retrieval, whereas reactivation of the Npas4-dependent ensemble drives forgetting, with manipulation of the forgetting ensemble inversely shifting memory...
Indigenous gut microbes modulate neural cell state and neurodegenerative disease susceptibility
The native microbiome influences numerous host processes, including neurological function. However, its impacts on diverse brain cell types remain poorly understood. Here, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing on the hippocampus of wild-type, germ-free mice, revealing the microbiome-dependent transcriptional landscape across all major neural cell types. We found conserved impacts on key adaptive immune and neurodegenerative transcriptional pathways. Mono-colonization with select indigenous...
