    Abstract Alterations in motivation and reward-seeking are a transdiagnostic feature of numerous psychiatric disorders that commonly emerge in adolescence, including depression, obsessive- compulsive disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. During adolescence, reward motivation is naturally heightened, compared to adulthood, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a late developing brain region that regulates reward learning and motivation and is still maturing in adolescence. The mPFC modulates reward-motivated behaviors in adults, and has been hypothesized to be responsible for adolescents' inability to suppress reward-seeking and impulsive behaviors. Using 2-photon imaging of the mPFC and an active reward task, we demonstrate that both the adult and adolescent mPFC encode reward-predictive cues, with distinct neuronal populations encoding rewarded and unrewarded cues. In adolescence the mPFC is hyper-responsive to reward cues and recruits a larger population of neurons to encode reward predictive cues. Furthermore, in the adolescent mPFC, representations of unrewarded cues are attenuated, compared to the adult mPFC, which may tip the balance of action toward reward-seeking. Differences in neuronal responses to rewarded and unrewarded cues were observed in both GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons, with GABAergic inhibition causing disparate effects in adolescents compared to adults. Together our findings identify differences in the functional properties of mPFC microcircuits in adolescents that may underlie differences in reward-seeking behavior and the ability to adaptively suppress reward seeking.

    Abstract Investigators have long suspected a link between inflammation and depression, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Fang et al. report that lipopolysaccharide-binding protein regulates monoamine biosynthesis and might be a missing link and potential therapeutic target for inflammation-associated depressive behaviors.

    Abstract Working memory is a process for actively maintaining and updating task-relevant information, despite interference from competing inputs, and is supported in part by sustained activity in prefrontal cortical pyramidal neurons and coordinated interactions with inhibitory interneurons, which may serve to regulate interference. Chronic stress has potent effects on working memory performance, possibly by interfering with these interactions or by disrupting long-range inputs from key upstream brain regions. Still, the mechanisms by which chronic stress disrupts working memory are not well understood, due in part to a need for scalable, easy-to-implement behavioral assays that are compatible with two-photon calcium imaging and other tools for recording from large populations of neurons. Here, we describe the development and validation of a platform that was designed specifically for automated, high-throughput assessments of working memory and simultaneous two-photon imaging in chronic stress studies. This platform is relatively inexpensive and easy to build; fully automated and scalable such that one investigator can test relatively large cohorts of animals concurrently; fully compatible with two-photon imaging, yet also designed to mitigate head-fixation stress; and can be easily adapted for other behavioral paradigms. Our validation data confirm that mice could be trained to perform a delayed response working memory task with relatively high-fidelity over the course of ∼15 days. Two-photon imaging data validate the feasibility of recording from large populations of cells during working memory tasks performance and characterizing their functional properties. Activity patterns in >70% of medial prefrontal cortical neurons were modulated by at least one task feature, and a majority of cells were engaged by multiple task features. We conclude with a brief literature review of the circuit mechanisms supporting working memory and their disruption in chronic stress states-highlighting directions for future research enabled by this platform.

    Abstract Depression is an episodic form of mental illness characterized by mood state transitions with poorly understood neurobiological mechanisms. Antidepressants reverse the effects of stress and depression on synapse function, enhancing neurotransmission, increasing plasticity, and generating new synapses in stress-sensitive brain regions. These properties are shared to varying degrees by all known antidepressants, suggesting that synaptic remodeling could play a key role in depression pathophysiology and antidepressant function. Still, it is unclear whether and precisely how synaptogenesis contributes to mood state transitions. Here, we review evidence supporting an emerging model in which depression is defined by a distinct brain state distributed across multiple stress-sensitive circuits, with neurons assuming altered functional properties, synapse configurations, and, importantly, a reduced capacity for plasticity and adaptation. Antidepressants act initially by facilitating plasticity and enabling a functional reconfiguration of this brain state. Subsequently, synaptogenesis plays a specific role in sustaining these changes over time.

    Abstract The search for more effective treatments for depression is a long-standing primary objective in both psychiatry and translational neuroscience. From initial models centered on neurochemical deficits, such as the monoamine hypothesis, research toward this goal has shifted toward a focus on network and circuit models to explain how key nodes in the limbic system and beyond interact to produce persistent shifts in affective states. To build these models, researchers have turned to two complementary approaches: neuroimaging studies in human patients (and their healthy counterparts) and neurophysiology studies in animal models, facilitated in large part by optogenetic and chemogenetic techniques. As the authors discuss, functional neuroimaging studies in humans have included largely task-oriented experiments, which have identified brain regions differentially activated during processing of affective stimuli, and resting-state functional MRI experiments, which have identified brain-wide networks altered in depressive states. Future work in this area will build on a multisite approach, assembling large data sets across diverse populations, and will also leverage the statistical power afforded by longitudinal imaging studies in patient samples. Translational studies in rodents have used optogenetic and chemogenetic tools to identify not just nodes but also connections within the networks of the limbic system that are both critical and permissive for the expression of motivated behavior and affective phenotypes. Future studies in this area will exploit mesoscale imaging and multisite electrophysiology recordings to construct network models with cell-type specificity and high statistical power, identifying candidate circuit and molecular pathways for therapeutic intervention.
