Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide that plays an important role in inflammation, respiration, pain, aggression, anxiety, and learning and memory mainly through its high affinity neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R). The marginal division (MrD) is a pan-shaped subdivision in the caudomedial margin of the neostriatum in the mammalian brain and is known to be involved in learning and memory. We studied the expression of SP, NK1R and NK1R mRNA in the rat striatum by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization, and found that the levels of SP, NK1R protein and NK1R mRNA were high in the cell bodies, fibers and terminals of neurons in the neostriatum, especially in the MrD. Knocking down NK1R activity in the MrD by using an antisense oligonucleotide against NK1R mRNA inhibited learning and memory in a Y-maze behavioral test. Our results show that NK1R mediates the role of SP in the MrD in learning and memory.

Background: Anxiety and depression represent prevalent yet frequently undetected mental health concerns within the older population. The challenge of identifying these conditions presents an opportunity for artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, remotely available, tools capable of screening and monitoring mental health. A critical criterion for such tools is their cultural adaptability to ensure effectiveness across diverse populations.

The ability to accurately predict the yields of different crop genotypes in response to weather variability is crucial for developing climate resilient crop cultivars. Genotype-environment interactions introduce large variations in crop-climate responses, and are hard to factor in to breeding programs. Data-driven approaches, particularly those based on machine learning, can help guide breeding efforts by factoring in genotype-environment interactions when making yield predictions.

Background: Acquiring new knowledge necessitates alterations at the synaptic level within the brain. Glutamate, a pivotal neurotransmitter, plays a critical role in these processes, particularly in learning and memory formation. Although previous research has explored glutamate's involvement in cognitive functions, a comprehensive understanding of its real-time dynamics remains elusive during memory tasks.
