MTORC1 FUNCTION IN HIPPOCAMPAL PARVALBUMIN INTERNEURONS: REGULATION OF FIRING AND LONG-TERM POTENTIATION OF INTRINSIC EXCITABILITY BUT NOT LONG-TERM CONTEXTUAL FEAR MEMORY AND CONTEXT DISCRIMINATION

mTORC1 function in hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons: regulation of firing and long-term potentiation of intrinsic excitability but not long-term contextual fear memory and context discrimination

Abstract Hippocampal CA1 parvalbumin-expressing interneurons (PV INs) play a central role in controlling principal cell activity and orchestrating network oscillations.PV INs receive excitatory inputs from CA3 Schaffer collaterals and local CA1 pyramidal cells, and they provide perisomatic inhibition.Schaffer collateral excitatory synapses onto PV

Mitochondrial Impairment in Sarcopenia

Sarcopenia is defined by the age-related loss of skeletal muscle quality, which relies on mitochondrial homeostasis.During aging, several mitochondrial features such as bioenergetics, dynamics, biogenesis, and selective autophagy (mitophagy) are altered and impinge on protein homeostasis, resulting in Control Key Board loss of muscle mass and funct
