Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) risk is increased by stress and certain gene mutations, including the most prevalent PD-linked mutation LRRK2-G2019S. Both PD and stress increase risk for psychiatric symptoms, yet it is unclear how PD-risk genes alter neural circuitry in response to stress that may promote psychopathology. Here we show significant differences between adult G2019S knockin and wildtype (wt) mice in stress-induced behaviors, with an unexpected uncoupling of depression-like and hedonic-like responses in G2019S mice. Moreover, mutant spiny projection neurons in nucleus accumbens (NAc) lack an adaptive, stress-induced change in excitability displayed by wt neurons, and instead show stress-induced changes in synaptic properties that wt neurons lack. Some synaptic alterations in NAc are already evident early in postnatal life. Thus, G2019S alters the magnitude and direction of behavioral responses to stress that may reflect unique modifications of adaptive plasticity in cells and circuits implicated in psychopathology in humans.Keywords
