Changes in memory processing with age.

Abstract

Over the years, a large body of literature has shown that humans display losses in memory with age, but that not all types of memory are affected equally. Similarly, recent evidence from functional neuroimaging experiments has revealed that, depending on the task, older adults can display greater or lesser activity in task-relevant brain areas compared with younger adults. Recent behavioral and neurophysiological experiments are furthering our understanding of the effects of aging on cognition. It appears that some brain changes seen with age may be compensatory.

Genome sequencing and population genetics provide insights into local adaptation of Opisthopappus species on cliff environments of Taihang Mountains.

Local adaptation represents a pivotal theme in evolutionary biology. The Opisthopappus genus, comprising Opisthopappus longilobus and O. taihangensis, thrives on the cliffs of the Taihang Mountains. During their evolutionary history, two species are hypothesized to have locally adapted to their cliff habitats. In the present study, we employed a combined approach of whole-genome sequencing of O. taihangensis and population genomic analysis from both species to gain deeper insights into their patterns of local adaptation. Our results revealed that the expansive genome of O. taihangensis (3010.18 Mb), a consequence of a whole-genome duplication (WGD) event, coupled with a high proportion of repetitive sequences (82.70%), was postulated as one of its adaptive strategies. A clear differentiation between O. taihangensis and O. longilobus was observed, with the two species diverging approximately 17.57 million years ago (Mya), with O. longilobus serving as the ancestor. Since their divergence, limited gene flow was observed between the two species. Post-divergence, the effective population sizes of both species expanded, yet underwent a dramatic reduction at approximately 0.07 Mya. Furthermore, a total of 798 adaptive genes were identified, of which 207 overlapped with expanded genes, and eight genes were found to be under positive selection. These genes primarily regulated the growth and development of both species via pathways such as oxidation-reduction and ubiquitin-proteasome, enabling them to withstand climate changes. These findings provide profound insights into the local adaptation of Opisthopappus species to the cliff environments and offer valuable clues for further exploring the local adaptation among various cliff-dwelling organisms.

Variation in Drosophila melanogaster central metabolic genes appears driven by natural selection both within and between populations.

In this report, we examine the hypothesis that the drivers of latitudinal selection observed in the eastern US Drosophila melanogaster populations are reiterated within seasons in a temperate orchard population in Pennsylvania, USA. Specifically, we ask whether alleles that are apparently favoured in northern populations are also favoured early in the spring, and decrease in frequency from the spring to autumn with the population expansion. We use SNP data collected for 46 metabolic genes and 128 SNPs representing the central metabolic pathway and examine for the aggregate SNP allele frequencies whether the association of allele change with latitude and that with increasing days of spring-autumn season are reversed. Testing by random permutation, we observe a highly significant negative correlation between these associations that is consistent with this expectation. This correlation is stronger when we confine our analysis to only those alleles that show significant latitudinal changes. This pattern is not caused by association with chromosomal inversions. When data are resampled using SNPs for amino acid change the relationship is not significant but is supported when SNPs associated with cis-expression are only considered. Our results suggest that climate factors driving latitudinal molecular variation in a metabolic pathway are related to those operating on a seasonal level within populations.

Do synaptic rearrangements underlie compensatory reflex enhancement in spinal motoneurons after partial cell loss?

In adult cats, avulsion of a spinal ventral root induces retrograde cell death among the corresponding motoneurons and, also, enhanced monosynaptic reflexes ipsilaterally in the adjacent uninjured spinal cord segments. The present study investigates possible mechanisms behind this reflex potentiation. At 1-12 weeks after unilateral L7 ventral root avulsion, the L7 dorsal root ganglia were bilaterally injected with choleragenoid-HRP to light microscopically quantify the amount of HRP-labeled terminals in the motor nuclei of the lesioned L7 segment and adjacent intact L6+S1 segments. In addition, motoneuron synaptology and individual HRP-labeled boutons were analyzed electron microscopically. In the L7 segment, the loss of motoneurons at 12 weeks after ventral root avulsion was accompanied by a marked loss of HRP-labeled boutons in the corresponding ventral horn. In the L6/S1 segments, the monosynaptic reflex enhancement found ipsilaterally at 12 weeks postoperatively (mean 212%) was not accompanied by an increased HRP-labeling in the ventral horn (mean 109%), indicating that no sprouting or enlargement of the monosynaptic boutons had occurred. Ultrastructurally, the values for apposition length, total active site length, cross-sectional area, and mitochondrial density of the labeled boutons were also similar between the two sides. However, ipsilaterally the L6/S1 motoneurons exhibited an increased membrane covering by presumably excitatory boutons. The present results indicate that after partial cell death in a motoneuron pool the remaining motoneurons may undergo compensatory synaptic rearrangements leading to increased excitability and enhanced reflexes.
