It has been shown that pro-inflammatory cytokines preferentially attenuate long-term potentiation (LTP), at the same time the effect of anti-inflammatory cytokines on synaptic plasticity has not been fully studied yet. Here we studied the effect of two anti-inflammatory cytokines - interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) on long-term potentiation. It was found that exogenously added IL-10 as well as TGF-β1 were able to effectively facilitate LTP evoked with ether high frequency or theta burst stimulation protocols in CA1 area of hippocampus. Effectiveness of IL-10 and TGF-β1 on LTP varied depending on the concentration of used cytokine and type of tetanic stimulation protocol used for LTP induction. Overall the positive effect of studied cytokines on LTP was associated with their ability to increase basal synaptic strength at Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. At the same time IL-10 and TGF-β1 did not have any effect on short-term plasticity. Our results provide new evidence upon the modulatory effects that anti-inflammatory cytokines exert on synaptic plasticity further highlighting their potency as modulators of neuronal function.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are redox-signaling molecules involved in aging and lifestyle-related diseases. In the brain, in addition to the production of ROS as byproducts of metabolism, expression of ROS synthases has recently been demonstrated, suggesting possible involvement of ROS in various brain functions. This review highlights current knowledge on the relationship between ROS and brain functions, including their contribution to age-related decline in synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a range of clinical manifestations with no effective treatment strategy to date. Here, transplantation of GABAergic precursor cells from the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) is demonstrated to significantly improve cognitive performance in Fmr1 knockout (KO) mice. Within the hippocampus of Fmr1-KO mice, MGE-derived cells from wild-type donor mice survive, migrate, differentiate into functionally mature interneurons, and form inhibitory synaptic connections with host pyramidal neurons.

Postoperative delirium (POD), an acute cognitive dysfunction linked to morbidity and mortality, is characterized by memory impairments and disturbances in consciousness, particularly in patients aged 65 and older. Neuroinflammation and NAD+ imbalance are key mechanisms behind POD, leading to synaptic and cognitive deterioration. However, how surgery contributes to POD and neuroinflammation remains unclear, and effective treatments are lacking.

Objectives: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced protein homeostasis perturbation is a core pathological element in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. This study aims to clarify the unique role played by C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) as a biomarker of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the etiology of chronic pain and related cognitive impairments following chronic constrictive nerve injury (CCI).
Methods: The memory capability following CCI was assessed utilizing the Morris water maze (MWM) and fear conditioning test (FCT).
