Fiber photometry enables recording of population neuronal calcium dynamics in awake mice. While the popularity of fiber photometry has grown in recent years, it remains unclear whether photometry reflects changes in action potential firing (that is, 'spiking') or other changes in neuronal calcium. In microscope-based calcium imaging, optical and analytical approaches can help differentiate somatic from neuropil calcium. However, these approaches cannot be readily applied to fiber photometry. As such, it remains unclear whether the fiber photometry signal reflects changes in somatic calcium, changes in nonsomatic calcium or a combination of the two. Here, using simultaneous in vivo extracellular electrophysiology and fiber photometry, along with in vivo endoscopic one-photon and two-photon calcium imaging, we determined that the striatal fiber photometry does not reflect spiking-related changes in calcium and instead primarily reflects nonsomatic changes in calcium.

Background And Purpose: The pathological role of the bile acid receptor TGR5/GPBA in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not fully understood. We investigated the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of TGR5 in AD model mice.
Experimental Approach: TGR5 expression was assessed in AD mice using immunofluorescence and immunoblotting.

Social hierarchies are central to the organizational structure of group-living species, shaping individual physiology, behavior, and social interactions. Dopaminergic (DA) systems, particularly within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR), have been linked to motivation and competitive behaviors, yet their region-specific contributions to social dominance remain insufficiently defined. This study investigated the role of VTA and DR DA neurons in regulating social dominance in sexually naïve male C57BL/6J mice.

Aggressive behavior can be acquired through observation, providing adaptive advantages but also posing significant social risks. In humans, individuals repeatedly exposed to aggression are more likely to engage in violent behavior later in life. Yet, the environmental factors and neural mechanisms underlying observationally acquired aggression remain unclear.

An adverse gestational environment is a risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders. Although studies have implicated modifications in neuronal DNA and chromatin, how these changes come about and lead to abnormal behaviors is not known. We sought to identify persistent DNA/chromatin and transcriptomic signatures induced by a proinflammatory gestational environment in the ventral dentate gyrus (vDG), a hippocampal region linked to anxiety.

This study investigated the association between energy and macronutrient intake and bone health in 63 adolescents of both sexes who participated in volleyball, track and field, or swimming. Bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) of the total body less head (TBLH), lumbar spine (L1-L4), and femoral neck were assessed using DXA. Bone geometry parameters, including cross-sectional area (CSA), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), and section modulus, were estimated.
