A core function of our memory system is the ability to link appropriate events. In this issue of Neuron, Chowdhury et al. (2022) pinpoint a specific neuromodulatory circuit for contextual memory linking, but not formation, in the hippocampus.

Background: Osteoporosis (OP), often termed the "silent epidemic," poses a substantial public health burden. Emerging insights into the molecular functions of FBXW4 have spurred interest in its potential roles across various diseases.

Methods: This study explored FBXW4 by integrating DEGs from GEO datasets GSE2208, GSE7158, GSE56815, and GSE35956 with immune-related gene compilations from the ImmPort repository.

Arginase-1-specific T cells target and modulate tumor-associated macrophages.

Background: Arginase-1 (Arg1) expressing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) may create an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which is a significant challenge for cancer immunotherapy. We previously reported the existence of Arg1-specific memory T cells among peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and described that Arg-1-based immune modulatory vaccines (IMVs) control tumor growth and alter the M1/M2 macrophage ratio in murine models of cancer. In the present study, we investigated how Arg1-specific T cells can directly target TAMs and influence their polarization.

Permanent tactile sensory loss reduces neuronal activity in the amygdala and ventral hippocampus and alters anxiety-like behaviors.

Behav Brain Res

Laboratorio de Neurociencias, Facultad de Psicología, Universidad de Colima, Colima, Mexico 28040. Electronic address:

Tactile information from the whiskers (vibrissae) travels through the somatosensory cortex to the entorhinal cortex and the hippocampus, influencing development and psychological well-being. The lack of whiskers affects cognitive functions, spatial memory, neuronal firing, spatial mapping, and neurogenesis in the dorsal hippocampus. Recent studies underline the importance of tactile experiences in emotional health, noting that while tactile stimuli modulate the dorsal hippocampus, the effects of tactile deprivation on anxiety-like behaviors and neural activity in regions like the ventral hippocampus and amygdala are less understood.

Background And Objectives: Cognitive deficits represent a major long-term complication of anti-leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1 encephalitis (LGI1-E). Although severely affecting patient outcomes, the structural brain changes underlying these deficits remain poorly understood. In this study, we hypothesized a link between white matter (WM) networks and cognitive outcomes in LGI1-E.

Tissue-specific T cell immune responses play a critical role in maintaining organ health but can also drive immune pathology during both autoimmunity and alloimmunity. The mechanisms controlling intratissue T cell programming remain unclear. Here, we leveraged a nonhuman primate model of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to probe the biological underpinnings of tissue-specific alloimmune disease using a comprehensive systems immunology approach including multiparameter flow cytometry, population-based transcriptional profiling, and multiplexed single-cell RNA sequencing and TCR sequencing.
