Input-and cell-type-specific developmental alterations to thalamic synapses in a Dravet syndrome mouse model

This study examines synapse function in thalamic regions of Dravet syndrome mice before, during, and after seizures, revealing persistent input- and cell-type-specific synaptic deficits in adulthood.

Hippocampal cell- and circuit-specific differences in mitochondrial form and function

The paper compares mitochondrial morphology and function in hippocampal CA1 and CA2 circuits, finding cell-type and input-specific differences that may influence circuit properties and disease vulnerability.
