Molecular pathways mediating systemic inflammation entering the brain parenchyma to induce sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) remain elusive. Here, we report that in mice during first 6 hours of peripheral lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-evoked (6 hpi), plasma level adenosine quickly increased and enhanced tone central extracellular which then provoked neuroinflammation by triggering early astrocyte reactivity. Specific ablation astrocytic Gi protein-coupled A1 receptors (A1ARs) prevented this reactivity reduced levels inflammatory factors (e.g., CCL2, CCL5, CXCL1) astrocytes, thereby alleviating microglial reaction, ameliorating blood-brain barrier disruption, immune cell infiltration, neuronal dysfunction, depression-like behaviour mice. Chemogenetic stimulation signaling A1AR-deficent astrocytes at 2 4 hpi LPS injection could restore behaviour, highlighting rather than microglia as drivers neuroinflammation. Our results identify towards an important pathway driving SAE highlight potential targeting A1ARs for therapeutic intervention.

Fiber photometry is a key technique for characterizing brain-behavior relationships in vivo. Initially, it was primarily used to report calcium dynamics as proxy neural activity via genetically encoded indicators. This generated new insights into brain functions including movement, memory, and motivation at the level of defined circuits cell types. Recently, opportunity discovery with fiber has exploded development an extensive range fluorescent sensors biomolecules neuromodulators peptides that were previously inaccessible critical advance, combined availability affordable "plug-and-play" recording systems, made monitoring molecules high spatiotemporal precision during behavior highly accessible. However, while opening exciting avenues research, rapid expansion applications occurred without coordination or consensus on best practices. Here, we provide comprehensive guide help end-users execute, analyze, suitably interpret studies.

Abstract Sleep interacts reciprocally with immune system activity, but its specific relationship microglia—the resident cells in the brain—remains poorly understood. Here, we show mice that microglia can regulate sleep through a mechanism involving G i -coupled GPCRs, intracellular Ca 2+ signaling and suppression of norepinephrine transmission. Chemogenetic activation strongly promoted sleep, whereas pharmacological blockade P2Y12 receptors decreased sleep. Two-photon imaging cortex showed P2Y12–G elevated , this elevation largely abolished -induced increase. Microglia level also increased at natural wake-to-sleep transitions, caused partly by reduced levels. Furthermore, biosensor significantly levels, increasing adenosine concentration. These findings indicate reciprocal interactions

Abstract Flickering light stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation strategy to alleviate neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the lack of neurochemical underpinning hampered its therapeutic development. Here, we demonstrate that flickering triggered an immediate and sustained increase (up 3 h after flickering) in extracellular adenosine levels primary visual cortex (V1) other brain regions, function frequency intensity, with maximal effects observed at 40 Hz 4000 lux. We uncovered cortical (glutamatergic GABAergic) neurons, rather than astrocytes, cellular source, intracellular generation from AMPK-associated energy metabolism pathways (but not SAM-transmethylation or salvage purine pathways), efflux mediated by equilibrative nucleoside transporter-2 (ENT2) molecular pathway responsible for generation.

Homeostatic sleep regulation is essential for optimizing the amount and timing of its revitalizing function, but mechanism underlying homeostasis remains poorly understood. Here, we show that optogenetic activation locus coeruleus (LC) noradrenergic neurons immediately increased propensity following a transient wakefulness, contrasting with many other arousal-promoting whose induces sustained wakefulness. Fiber photometry showed repeated or sensory stimulation caused rapid reduction calcium activity in LC steep declines noradrenaline/norepinephrine (NE) release both medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Knockdown α 2 A adrenergic receptors mitigated decline NE induced by repetitive extended demonstrating an important role receptor–mediated auto-suppression release. Together, these results suggest functional fatigue neurons, which reduces their wake-promoting capacity, contributes to pressure.
