  • Hippocampal LacZ and cFos staining of a TetTag mouse. A, Fluorescent micrographs of dorsal hippocampal CA1 neurons that were stained for LacZ (red) and cFos (green). Part of the CA1 (dotted line square) was enlarged to show LacZ (B), cFos (C), and the overlapping of LacZ and cFos in engram cells (D). Scale bars: A, 250 μm; B–D, 40 μm.

    Negative Memory Storage Affects Depression Symptoms
    Physical manifestations of negative memories in the hippocampus could underlie cognitive symptoms of depression, according to research in mice published in JNeurosci.
  • SLE anti-BC abs in neurons. Delivery of BC RNAs to synapto-dendritic domains requires transport factor hnRNP A2. The factor interacts with targeting-determinant GA motifs contained within BC RNA 5′ stem–loop domains. SLE anti-BC IgGs bind to the same motif structures, displacing hnRNP A2 from BC RNAs and as a result causing impaired dendritic delivery.
