Dexmedetomidine - commonly used in functional imaging studies - increases susceptibility to seizures in rats but not in wild type mice

This study shows that dexmedetomidine increases seizure susceptibility in rats but not in mice, affecting hemodynamic and neurophysiological responses to stimulation.

Paranode stability requires UNC5B expression by oligodendrocytes

This study shows that UNC5B in oligodendrocytes is essential for maintaining paranodal junction stability and myelin integrity in the mature CNS.
