1/n. New paper from us: here we explore the mechanisms underlying maternal aggression in mice as a means of addressing how an individual transiently can gain access to a behaviour normally outside of its repertoire. Lead investigator Stefanos Stagkourakis (not on 🦋)🧵:

Maternal aggression driven by the transient mobilisation of a dormant hormone-sensitive circuit - Nature Communications
Mothers can fiercely defend their young, but how the brain triggers this response remains to a large extent a mystery. Here, authors show that a dormant, hormone-sensitive brain circuit switches on to spark maternal aggression during the lactation period.

Happy to share this new paper from the lab in collaboration with George Augustine, characterizing synaptic connectivity between the claustrum and the anterior cingulate cortex. Congratulations to Roberto, Zach, and all co-authors. @robertodelator.bsky.social

Our new paper in Current Biology
"Presynaptic and postsynaptic determinants of claustro-cortical connectivity"
CLA→ACC projections are highly specific: defined by presynaptic identity, postsynaptic target, and cortical layer.

Excited to share our study on striatal dysfunctions in the eIF4E autism model! Understanding brain networks in ASD is key for targeted therapies. Huge thanks to PhD candidate Alina Aaltonen and our funders @Vetenskapsradet, @Wstiftelserna, @StratNeuro!
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Postnatal reduction of eIF4E overexpression in D1-SPNs ameliorates KCNQ dysfunction, hyperexcitability and ASD-like behaviours.
An imbalance between the direct and indirect pathways of the striatum has been implicated in the pathophysiology of ASD, which corresponds with an increase in repetitive behaviours and hyperactivity. ...

What a fantastic Lucia performance by Biomedicum's own choir! The Lucia tradition marks the beginning of the darkest week of the year with only 5 hours of daylight in Stockholm. Heart-warming traditions like these are particularly important to maintain spirits high. @karolinskainst.bsky.social

Dysregulated acetylcholine-mediated dopamine neurotransmission in the eIF4E Tg mouse model of autism spectrum disorders
Basal ganglia dysfunction potentially causes behavioral alterations in ASD. Carbonell-Roig et al. show that the eIF4E Tg mouse model of ASD exhibits behavioral inflexibility and impaired striatal dopa...

Happening today! At the Department of Neuroscience retreat, I will talk about the role played by dopamine and serotonin in motor control by the basal ganglia. Based on doi.org/10.1101/2024...
5-HT1B receptors mediate dopaminergic inhibition of vesicular fusion and GABA release from striatonigral synapses
The substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), a crucial basal ganglia output nucleus, contains a dense expression of dopamine D1 receptors (D1Rs), along with dendrites belonging to dopaminergic neurons ...
