Brain circuits for retching-like behavior

Nausea and vomiting are important defensive responses to cope with pathogens and toxins that invade the body.The nucleus of the solitary tract(NTS)is important for initiating these responses.However,the molecular heterogeneities and cellular diversities of the NTS occlude a better understanding of these defensive responses.Here,we constructed the single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of NTS cells and found multiple populations of NTS neurons that maybe involved in these defensive responses.Among these,we identified Calbindin1-positive(Calb1+)NTS neurons that are molecularly distinct from Tac1+neurons.These Calbl+neurons are critical for nausea and retching induced by cereulide;an emetic toxin secreted by Bacillus Cereus.Strikingly,we found that cereulide can directly modulate vagal sensory neurons that innervate Calb1+NTS neurons,a novel mechanism distinct from that for nausea and retching induced by Staphylococcal enterotoxin A.Together,our transcriptomic atlas of NTS neurons and the functional analyses revealed the neural mechanism for cereulide-induced retching-like behavior.These results demonstrate the molecular and cellular complexities in the brain that underlie defensive responses to the diversities of pathogens and toxins.
