Functional and regional specificity of noradrenergic signalling for encoding and retrieval of associative recognition memory in the rat

1 month ago | jneurosci.org | Stephanie Tran |Gareth Barker |Mathias L. Mathiasen |John P. Aggleton

Functional and regional specificity of noradrenergic signalling for encoding and retrieval of associative recognition memory in the rat Stephanie Tran, Gareth R.I. Barker, Mathias L. Mathiasen, John P. Aggleton, E. Clea Warburton Journal of Neuroscience 1 May 2025, e2408242025; DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2408-24.2025
Relationships of eating behaviors with psychopathology, brain maturation and genetic risk for obesity in an adolescent cohort study - Nature Mental Health

Jan 9, 2025 | nature.com | Xinyang Yu |Zuo Zhang |Moritz Herle |Tobias Banaschewski |Gareth Barker |Herta Flor | +16 more

AbstractUnhealthy eating, a risk factor for eating disorders (EDs) and obesity, often coexists with emotional and behavioral problems; however, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Analyzing data from the longitudinal IMAGEN adolescent cohort, we investigated associations between eating behaviors, genetic predispositions for high body mass index (BMI) using polygenic scores (PGSs), and trajectories (ages 14–23 years) of ED-related psychopathology and brain maturation.
Investigating grey matter volumetric trajectories through the lifespan at the individual level - Nature Communications

AbstractAdolescents exhibit remarkable heterogeneity in the structural architecture of brain development. However, due to limited large-scale longitudinal neuroimaging studies, existing research has largely focused on population averages, and the neurobiological basis underlying individual heterogeneity remains poorly understood.
Genetic architectures of cerebral ventricles and their overlap with neuropsychiatric traits - Nature Human Behaviour

Oct 19, 2023 | nature.com | Tobias Banaschewski |Gareth Barker |Sylvane Desrivières |Herta Flor |Penny Gowland |Andreas Heinz | +17 more

AbstractThe cerebral ventricles are recognized as windows into brain development and disease, yet their genetic architectures, underlying neural mechanisms and utility in maintaining brain health remain elusive. Here we aggregated genetic and neuroimaging data from 61,974 participants (age range, 9 to 98 years) in five cohorts to elucidate the genetic basis of ventricular morphology and examined their overlap with neuropsychiatric traits.
Covariation of preadult environmental exposures, adult brain imaging phenotypes, and adult personality traits - Molecular Psychiatry

Sep 22, 2023 | nature.com | Feng Chen |Meiyun Wang |Xiaochu Zhang |Wen Qin |Feng Liu |Qiang Xu | +24 more

AbstractExposure to preadult environmental exposures may have long-lasting effects on mental health by affecting the maturation of the brain and personality, two traits that interact throughout the developmental process. However, environment-brain-personality covariation patterns and their mediation relationships remain unclear.
Association between vmPFC gray matter volume and smoking initiation in adolescents - Nature Communications

Aug 15, 2023 | nature.com | Shitong Xiang |Tianye Jia |Tobias Banaschewski |Gareth Barker |Christian Büchel |Sylvane Desrivières | +15 more

AbstractSmoking of cigarettes among young adolescents is a pressing public health issue. However, the neural mechanisms underlying smoking initiation and sustenance during adolescence, especially the potential causal interactions between altered brain development and smoking behaviour, remain elusive.
Author Correction: A shared neural basis underlying psychiatric comorbidity - Nature Medicine

Aug 9, 2023 | nature.com | Shitong Xiang |Xuerui Peng |Tobias Banaschewski |Gareth Barker |Christian Büchel |Herta Flor | +17 more

Correction to: Nature Medicine https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-023-02317-4. Published online 24 April 2023. In the version of this article initially published, the STRATIFY data also included cohort data from the ESTRA consortium, though this was not acknowledged in the author list and the section in Methods on the Stratify dataset. The Methods are now updated, and the author list is amended to combine the STRATIFY and ESTRA consortium names and to include the following authors: Marina Bobou, M.
The thalamic reuniens is associated with consolidation of non-spatial memory too

Aug 1, 2023 | frontiersin.org | Szu-Han Wang |Gisella Vetere |Gareth Barker

1. Introduction The nucleus reuniens of the thalamus (RE) is ideally situated to mediate information exchange between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC) and participate in a variety of higher cognitive functions (reviews: Dolleman-van der Weel et al., 2019; Mathiasen et al., 2020; Ferraris et al., 2021). One of the most interesting lines of research suggests that RE is critical for long-term memory consolidation (Ferraris et al., 2021).
Individual differences in age-related neurocognitive outcomes: within-subject assessment of memory for odors

Jun 11, 2023 | frontiersin.org | Johns Hopkins |Ashok Kumar |Jacques Micheau |Gareth Barker

1. IntroductionAge-related cognitive decline in otherwise healthy individuals has a high societal cost but presents a considerable challenge for study. Not all aging individuals exhibit neurocognitive decline and those that do have distinctive profiles of cognitive complaints and trajectories of decline.
