Prefrontal orchestration: a cortical network for rodent motor inhibition

This study investigates how prefrontal cortex subsections interact during motor inhibition in rats using optogenetics and electrophysiology, finding that the prelimbic cortex acts as an input-dependent switch modulated by the infralimbic cortex.

The fungal ligand chitin directly binds and signals inflammation dependent on oligomer size and TLR2

This study identifies chitin oligomers as the smallest immunologically active motif and TLR2 as the primary receptor for chitin, showing size-dependent signaling and therapeutic potential.
