Abstract MicroRNAs are small, highly conserved non‐coding RNAs that negatively regulate mRNA translation and stability. In the brain, miRNAs contribute to neuronal development, synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity. MicroRNA 138‐5p (miR‐138‐5p) controls inhibitory transmission in hippocampus is expressed cerebellar excitatory neurons. However, its specific role remains unknown. Here, we investigated cerebellum of mice expressing a sponge construct sequesters endogenous miR‐138‐5p. Mossy fibre stimulation‐evoked EPSCs granule cells were ∼40% larger miR‐138‐5p compared controls. Furthermore, observed miniature EPSC amplitudes, suggesting an increased number functional postsynaptic AMPA receptors. High‐frequency train stimulation revealed enhanced short‐term depression following downregulation. Together with computational modelling, this suggests negative regulation presynaptic release probability. Overall, our results demonstrate suppresses strength through pre‐ mechanisms, providing potentially powerful mechanism for tuning input into cerebellum. image Key points regulators control key cell biological processes including transmission, but their regulating function has remained elusive. study, how microRNA‐138‐5p modulates at adult murine mossy synapses.

Synchronous neuronal activity is a hallmark of the developing brain. In mouse cerebral cortex, decorrelates during second week postnatal development, progressively acquiring characteristic sparse pattern underlying integration sensory information. The maturation inhibition seems critical for this process, but interneurons involved in crucial transition network cortex remain unknown. Using vivo longitudinal two-photon calcium imaging period that precedes change from highly synchronous to decorrelated activity, we identify somatostatin-expressing (SST+) as modulators switch mice. Modulation SST+ cells accelerates or delays decorrelation cortical process involves regulating parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons. critically link inputs with local circuits, controlling neural dynamics while modulating other into nascent circuits.

Abstract Throughout life, neuronal networks in the mammalian neocortex maintain a balance of excitation and inhibition, which is essential for computation 1,2 . Deviations from balanced state have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, severe disruptions result epilepsy 3–5 To balance, microcircuits composed excitatory inhibitory neurons sense alterations neural activity adjust connectivity function. Here we identify signalling pathway adult mouse that activated response increased network activity. Overactivation signalled through an increase levels BMP2, growth factor well known its role as morphogen embryonic development. BMP2 acts on parvalbumin-expressing (PV) interneurons transcription SMAD1, controls array glutamatergic synapse proteins components perineuronal nets. PV-interneuron-specific disruption BMP2–SMAD1 accompanied by loss innervation PV cells, underdeveloped nets decreased excitability. Ultimately, this impairment functional recruitment disrupts cortical excitation–inhibition with mice exhibiting spontaneous epileptic seizures.

A key feature of excitatory synapses is the existence subsynaptic protein nanoclusters (NCs) whose precise alignment across cleft in a transsynaptic nanocolumn influences strength synaptic transmission. However, whether properties vary between functioning different cellular contexts unknown. We used combination confocal and DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy to directly compare organization shared scaffold proteins at two important synapses—those forming onto principal neurons (Ex→Ex synapses) those parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (Ex→PV synapses). As Ex→Ex synapses, we find that Ex→PV presynaptic Munc13-1 postsynaptic PSD-95 both form NCs demonstrate alignment, underscoring nanostructure as conserved organizational principles synapses.

Cortical networks exhibit complex stimulus–response patterns that are based on specific recurrent interactions between neurons. For example, the balance excitatory and inhibitory currents has been identified as a central component of cortical computations. However, it remains unclear how required synaptic connectivity can emerge in developing circuits where synapses neurons simultaneously plastic. Using theory modeling, we propose wide range response properties arise from single plasticity paradigm acts at all connections—Hebbian learning is stabilized by synapse-type-specific competition for limited supply resources. In plastic circuits, this enables formation decorrelation inhibition-balanced receptive fields. Networks develop an assembly structure with stronger connections similarly tuned normalization orientation-specific center-surround suppression, reflecting stimulus statistics during training. These results demonstrate self-organize into functional suggest essential role competitive development circuits.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit a diverse range of behavioral features and genetic backgrounds, but whether different forms involve convergent pathophysiology brain function is unknown. Here, we analyze evidence for deficits in neural circuit across multiple transgenic mouse models ASD. We focus on sensory areas neocortex, where differences may underlie atypical processing, central feature autism. Many distinct circuit-level theories ASD have been proposed, including increased excitation–inhibition (E–I) ratio hyperexcitability, hypofunction parvalbumin (PV) interneuron circuits, impaired homeostatic plasticity, degraded coding, others. review these assess the degree convergence each. Behaviorally, our analysis reveals that innate detection behavior heightened discrimination many models. Neurophysiologically, PV E–I are prevalent only rarely generate hyperexcitability excess spiking. Instead, tuning other aspects coding commonly explain behavior. Two phenotypic clusters opposing signatures evident Such clustering could suggest physiological subtypes autism, which facilitate development tailored therapeutic approaches.

SYNGAP1 haploinsufficiency in humans causes intellectual disability (ID). is highly expressed cortical excitatory neurons and, reducing its expression mice accelerates the maturation of synapses during sensitive developmental periods, restricts critical period window for plasticity, and impairs cognition. However, specific role interneurons remains largely undetermined. In this study, we investigated effects conditional Syngap1 disruption medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)-derived on hippocampal interneuron firing properties synaptic inputs, as well pyramidal cell inhibition integration. We show that MGE-derived results cell-specific impairment Nkx2.1 fast-spiking interneurons, with enhancement their AMPA receptor (AMPAR)-mediated inputs but compromised short-term plasticity. contrast, regular-spiking are unaffected. These changes associated impaired enhanced summation responses. Unexpectedly, found Syngap1flox allele used study contains inverted loxP sites targeted recombination induces some loss embryonic development reversible inversion sequence flanked by postmitotic cells. Together, these suggest plays a regulation function cells mice. because our finding sites, it will be important to further investigate using different allele.
