iGABASnFR Imaging Reveals Diffusion-Driven GABA Clearance in the Cerebral Cortex

Reyna L Gariepy, J. Blackman, Jeffrey S. Diamond, Chris G. Dulla, Moritz Armbruster

The paper uses a fluorescent GABA sensor to show that GABA diffuses rapidly from release sites and accumulates extracellularly, challenging previous assumptions about GABA clearance mechanisms.

Evidence for the Transient Presence of Atypical Astrocytes in Mice Following a Single, Closed-Head Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

J. Blackman, Rebecca Krauss, Sadi Quiñones, Panorea Tirja, Mary Sommer, Carmen Muñoz‐Ballester, Farzad Noubary, Moritz Armbruster, Stefanie Robel, Trent R. Anderson, Chris G. Dulla

This study shows that a single closed-head mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in mice temporarily increases atypical astrocytes (AtAs) but they do not persist long-term, unlike in repeated mTBI.

Selective logging shows no impact on the dietary breadth of the fawn leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros cervinus)

D. R. Hemprich-Bennett, V. A. Kemp, J. Blackman, O. T. Lewis, M. J. Struebig, H. Bernard, S. J. Rossiter, E. L. Clare

The study examines the diet of fawn leaf-nosed bats across logging disturbance gradients in Borneo, finding no significant impact on dietary breadth.

Altered structure and stability of bat-prey interaction networks in logged tropical forests revealed by metabarcoding

D. R. Hemprich-Bennett, V. A. Kemp, J. Blackman, M. J. Struebig, O. T. Lewis, S. J. Rossiter, E. L. Clare

This study shows that logging reduces prey diversity in insectivorous bats and alters their interaction networks, making ecosystems less stable.
