High estradiol reduces adult neurogenesis but strengthens functional connectivity within the hippocampus during spatial pattern separation in adult female rats
Horm Behav. 2023 Aug 9;155:105409. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2023.105409. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus plays an important role for pattern separation, the process of separating similar inputs and forming distinct neural representations. Estradiol modulates neurogenesis and hippocampus function, but to date no examination of estradiol's effects on pattern separation have been conducted. Here, we examined estrogenic regulation of adult neurogenesis and functional connectivity in the hippocampus after the spatial pattern separation task in female rats. Ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats rec...

Contribution of birds to the study of sexual differentiation of brain and behavior
Horm Behav. 2023 Aug 9;155:105410. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2023.105410. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBehavioral neuroendocrinology has largely relied on mammalian models to understand the relationship between hormones and behavior, even if this discipline has historically used a larger diversity of species than other fields. Recent advances revealed the potential of avian models in elucidating the neuroendocrine bases of behavior. This paper provides a review focused mainly on the contributions of our laboratory to the study of sexual differentiation in Japanese quail and songbirds. Quail studies have firmly established the ...

Circulating ovarian hormones interact with protein interacting with C kinase (PICK1) within the medial prefrontal cortex to influence cocaine seeking in female mice
Horm Behav. 2023 Aug 2;155:105408. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2023.105408. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProtein interacting with C kinase 1 (PICK1) is an AMPA receptor binding protein that works in conjunction with glutamate receptor interacting protein (GRIP) to balance the number of GluA2-containing AMPARs in the synapse. In male mice, disrupting PICK1 in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) leads to a decrease in cue-induced cocaine seeking and disrupting GRIP in the mPFC has the opposing effect, consistent with other evidence that removal of GluA2-containing AMPARs potentiates reinstatement. However, PICK1 does not seem to p...
