Age-related changes in Kv4/Shal and Kv1/Shaker expression in Drosophila and a role for reactive oxygen species. by Maximiliano J Vallejos, Abdunaser Eadaim, Eu-Teum Hahm, Susan Tsunoda

“…Finally, we compare levels of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 in the hippocampus, olfactory bulb, cerebellum, and motor cortex of mice aged 6 weeks and 1 year. While there was no global decline in Kv4.2/4.3 that parallels what we report in Drosophila, we did find that Kv4.2/4.3 are differentially affected in various brain regions; this survey of changes may help inform mammalian studies that examine neuronal function with age.…”

Principles of synaptic encoding of brainstem circadian rhythms by Forrest J. Ragozzino, Ilia N. Karatsoreos, James H. Peters

“…Together these coordinated pre‐ and postsynaptic changes provide nuanced control of synaptic transmission across the day to tune the sensitivity of primary afferent input and likely govern reflex output. Further, given the important role for the brainstem in integrating cues such as feeding, cardiovascular function and temperature, it may also be an underappreciated locus in mediating the effects of such non‐photic entraining cues. …”

Identifying Molecular Properties of Ataxin-2 Inhibitors for Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2 Utilizing High-Throughput Screening and Machine Learning by Smita Sahay, Jingran Wen, Daniel R. Scoles, Anton Simeonov, Thomas S. Dexheimer, Ajit Jadhav, Stephen C. Kales, Hongmao Sun, Stefan M. Pulst, Julio C. Facelli, David E. Jones

“…Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder marked by cerebellar dysfunction, ataxic gait, and progressive motor impairments. SCA2 is caused by the pathologic expansion of CAG repeats in the ataxin-2 (<i>ATXN2</i>) gene, leading to a toxic gain-of-function mutation of the ataxin-2 protein. …”
