    Abstract Prefrontal cortex (PFC) intrahemispheric activity and the interhemispheric connection have a significant impact on neuropsychiatric disorder pathology. This study aimed to generate a functional map of FC intrahemispheric and interhemispheric connections. Functional dissection of mouse PFCs was performed using the voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging method with high speed (1 ms/frame), high resolution (256 × 256 pixels), and a large field of view (∼10 mm). Acute serial 350 μm slices were prepared from the bregma covering the PFC and numbered 1-5 based on their distance from the bregma (i.e., 1.70, 1.34, 0.98, 0.62, and 0.26 mm) with reference to the Mouse Brain Atlas (Paxinos and Franklin, 2008). The neural response to electrical stimulation was measured at nine sites and then averaged, and a functional map of the propagation patterns was created. Intracortical propagation was observed in slices 3-5, encompassing the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and corpus callosum (CC). The activity reached area 33 of the ACC. Direct white matter stimulation activated area 33 in both hemispheres. Similar findings were obtained via DiI staining of the CC. Imaging analysis revealed directional biases in neural signals traveling within the ACC, whereby the signal transmission speed and probability varied based on the signal direction. Specifically, the spread of neural signals from cg2 to cg1 was stronger than that from cingulate cortex area 1(cg1) to cingulate cortex area 2(cg2), which has implications for interhemispheric functional connections. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the PFC functional anatomy in evaluating neuromodulators like serotonin and dopamine, as well as other factors related to neuropsychiatric diseases.

    Abstract Chirality plays a vital role in biological membranes and has a significant effect depending on the type and arrangement of the isomer. Menthol has two typical chiral forms, d- and l-, which exhibit different behaviours. l-Menthol is known for its physiological effect on sensitivity (i.e. a cooling effect), whereas d-menthol causes skin irritation. Menthol molecules may affect not only the thermoreceptors on biomembranes, but also the membrane itself. Membrane heterogeneity (lipid rafts, phase separation) depends on lipid packing and acyl chain ordering. Our interest is to elaborate the chirality dependence of d- and l-menthol on membrane heterogeneity. We revealed physical differences between the two optical isomers of menthol on membrane heterogeneity by studying model membranes using nuclear magnetic resonance and microscopic observation.

    Abstract Dendritic spines function as microcompartments that can modify the efficiency of their associated synapses. Here, we analyzed stimulus-dependent molecular changes in spines. The F-actin capping protein CapZ accumulates in parts of dendritic spines within regions where long-term potentiation has been induced. We produced a transgenic mouse line, AiCE-Tg, in which CapZ tagged with enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP-CapZ) is expressed. Twenty minutes after unilateral visual or somatosensory stimulation in AiCE-Tg mice, relative EGFP-CapZ signal intensification was seen in a subset of dendritic spines selectively in stimulated-side cortices; this right-left difference was abolished by NMDA receptor blockade. Immunolabeling of α-actinin, a PSD-95 binding protein that can recruit AMPA receptors, showed that the α-actinin signals colocalized more frequently in spines with the brightest EGFP-CapZ signals (top 100) than in spines with more typical EGFP-CapZ signal strength (top 1,000). This stimulus-dependent in vivo redistribution of EGFP-CapZ represents a novel molecular event with plasticity-like characteristics, and bright EGFP-CapZ in AiCE-Tg mice make high-CapZ spines traceable in vivo and ex vivo. This mouse line has the potential to be used to reveal sequential molecular events, including synaptic tagging, and to relate multiple types of plasticity in these spines, extending knowledge related to memory mechanisms.
