Late endosome transport by RILP-RAB7A promotes dendrite arborization

This study shows that RILP-RAB7A-mediated late endosome transport is essential for dendrite arborization, independent of its role in degradation.

Balance performance in aged mice is dependent on unipolar brush cells

This study shows that unipolar brush cells (UBCs) are essential for balance in aged mice, as disrupting their activity impairs balance performance and vestibular-related behaviors in older mice but not young mice.

Comparative analysis of six adeno-associated viral vector serotypes in mouse inferior colliculus and cerebellum

This study compares six AAV serotypes in mouse brain regions, finding AAV1 provides the highest transgene expression and labels more cell types than other serotypes.

A system of feed-forward cerebellar circuits that extend and diversify sensory signaling

The paper investigates feed-forward cerebellar circuits involving unipolar brush cells (UBCs) and shows they extend and diversify sensory signaling through mutual innervation and computational modeling.

Preterm birth accelerates the maturation of spontaneous and resting activity in the visual cortex

This study finds that preterm birth accelerates cortical maturation in both infants and mice, as evidenced by a flatter 1/f EEG slope and suppressed neuronal firing.
