Automated pup-level analysis reveals distinct effects of prenatal CBD and THC exposure on maternal retrieval

This study uses automated analysis to show that prenatal CBD and THC exposure leads to distinct effects on maternal retrieval behavior in mice, with compound-specific changes in kinematics and learning.

Myocardial STIM1 deficiency triggers mitochondrial fission to impair electrophysiological function and exacerbate post-MI remodeling

This study shows that reducing STIM1 in cardiomyocytes causes mitochondrial fragmentation and metabolic changes, leading to electrical instability and worsened heart function after a heart attack.

Sexual differences in neuronal and synaptic properties across subregions of the mouse insular cortex

This study examines sex differences in synaptic properties and neuronal characteristics across subregions of the mouse insular cortex, revealing distinct features in excitability, synaptic strength, and plasticity.
