Somatostatin interneurons control the timing of developmental desynchronization in cortical networks.

Neuron

Synchronous neuronal activity is a hallmark of the developing brain. In the mouse cerebral cortex, activity decorrelates during the second week of postnatal development, progressively acquiring the characteristic sparse pattern underlying the integration of sensory information. The maturation of inhibition seems critical for this process, but the interneurons involved in this crucial transition of network activity in the developing cortex remain unknown.

Parvalbumin interneuron deficits in schizophrenia.

Parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons represent one of the most abundant subclasses of cortical interneurons. Owing to their specific electrophysiological and synaptic properties, PV+ interneurons are essential for gating and pacing the activity of excitatory neurons. In particular, PV+ interneurons are critically involved in generating and maintaining cortical rhythms in the gamma frequency, which are essential for complex cognitive functions.

In this work, we present a metal-free coupling protocol for the regio- and stereoselective C3-thioarylation of 6-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (iminoKdo). The developed procedure enables the coupling of electron-rich, electron-deficient, and hindered arylthiols, providing a series of C3-modified iminoKdo derivatives in moderate to good yields. Elucidation of active species through controlled experimental studies and time-lapse P NMR analysis provides insights into the reaction mechanism.

Cortical somatostatin long-range projection neurons and interneurons exhibit divergent developmental trajectories.

Neuron

February 2024

VIB Center for Brain and Disease, 3000 Leuven, Belgium; Department of Neurosciences, Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium. Electronic address:

The mammalian cerebral cortex contains an extraordinary diversity of cell types that emerge by implementing different developmental programs. Delineating when and how cellular diversification occurs is particularly challenging for cortical inhibitory neurons because they represent a small proportion of all cortical cells and have a protracted development. Here, we combine single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the emergence of neuronal diversity among somatostatin-expressing (SST+) cells in mice.

The single-cell and spatial transcriptional landscape of human gastrulation and early brain development.

Electronic address:

The emergence of the three germ layers and the lineage-specific precursor cells orchestrating organogenesis represent fundamental milestones during early embryonic development. We analyzed the transcriptional profiles of over 400,000 cells from 14 human samples collected from post-conceptional weeks (PCW) 3 to 12 to delineate the dynamic molecular and cellular landscape of early gastrulation and nervous system development. We described the diversification of cell types, the spatial patterning of neural tube cells, and the signaling pathways likely involved in transforming epiblast cells into neuroepithelial cells and then into radial glia.
