Morphological deficits of glial cells in a transgenic mouse model for developmental stuttering

The paper examines glial cell morphology in a Gnptab-mutant mouse model linked to stuttering, finding altered astrocyte and microglia processes in vocal production circuits.

Brainstem astrocytes regulate breathing and may affect arousal state in rats

This study shows that astrocytes in the preBotzinger complex regulate breathing and arousal in rats, with inhibited signaling linked to calmness and enhanced signaling linked to arousal.

Whole-brain analysis of CO2 chemosensitive regions and identification of the retrotrapezoid and medullary raphe nuclei in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)

The paper identifies CO2 chemosensitive regions in common marmosets using c-fos immunostaining and maps the retrotrapezoid and medullary raphe nuclei.
