Previous reports on dorsal and ventral hippocampal regulation of context learning versus anxiety have been mixed. In this issue of Neuron, a new study by Kheirbek et al. (2013) using optogenetics demonstrates that dentate gyrus granule cell activity in dorsal hippocampus encodes contextual fear learning while ventral granule cell activity regulates anxiety behavior.

The cerebellum is a highly conserved brain compartment of vertebrates. Genetic diseases of the human cerebellum often lead to degeneration of the principal neuron, the Purkinje cell, resulting in locomotive deficits and socio-emotional impairments. Due to its relatively simple but highly conserved neuroanatomy and circuitry, these human diseases can be modeled well in vertebrates amenable for genetic manipulation.

Objectives: To explore the mechanism of Granules (QJZG) for improving thrombocytopenia in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: Twenty-four MRL/lpr lupus mice were randomized equally into 4 groups for treatment with daily gavage of saline, QJZG or prednisone (Pred) or intraperitoneal injection (twice a week) of CaMKK2 activator, with 6 C57BL/6 mice with saline gavage as the control group. After 8 weeks of treatment, the mice were examined for PLT, PCT, PDW, MPV, serum levels of TPO, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ, and calcium ion fluorescence intensity using ELISA or flow-through assay.
Targeting Tiam1 enhances hippocampal-dependent learning and memory in the adult brain and promotes NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity and function.

Excitatory synapses and the actin-rich dendritic spines on which they reside are indispensable for information processing and storage in the brain. In the adult hippocampus, excitatory synapses must balance plasticity and stability to support learning and memory. However, the mechanisms governing this balance remain poorly understood.
