Cnidom in Ceriantharia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa): new findings in the composition and micrometric variations of cnidocysts by Agustín Garese, Fabiola Goes Correa, Fabián H. Acuña, Sérgio Nascimento Stampar

“…Background Like all cnidarians, the subclass Ceriantharia (Cnidaria, Anthozoa) is known for producing cnidocysts, which mainly serve for prey immobilization, predator defense, and locomotion. Aim The present study aimed to understand the variability of the cnidom, i.e., the inventory of all cnidocyst types, in the ceriantharians (tube anemones) Ceriantheomorphe brasiliensis (10 individuals) and Cerianthus sp. …”

Music-Based Intervention Ameliorates <i>Mecp2</i>-Loss-Mediated Sociability Repression in Mice through the Prefrontal Cortex <i>FNDC5/BDNF</i> Pathway by Pi-Lien Hung, Kay L. H. Wu, Chih-Jen Chen, Ka-Kit Siu, Yi-Jung Hsin, Liang-Jen Wang, Feng-Sheng Wang

“…<i>m</i><i>ecp2</i> ^null/y mice showed less locomotion in an open field than wild-type mice. The social novelty rather than the sociability of these animals increased following a music-based intervention, suggesting that music influenced the m<i>ecp2</i>-deletion-induced social interaction repression rather than motor deficit. …”

Uncoupling the Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 2 From Its C-Terminal Interactome Restores Synaptic Glutamate Clearance at Corticostriatal Synapses and Alleviates Mutant Huntingti... by Stefan Hirschberg, Anton Dvorzhak, Seyed M.

“…In contrast, over-expression of full-length EAAT2 neither facilitated glutamate uptake nor locomotion. Together, our results support the new hypothesis that preventing abnormal protein-protein interactions at the C-terminal of EAAT2 could eliminate the mHTT-related deficits in corticostriatal synaptic glutamate clearance and movement initiation.…”
