Microglia-derived IL-18 remodels hippocampal plasticity to constrain traumatic fear memory

xiya fang, yining wang, yezhuang shen, Guanbo Xie, Ran Liu, Hong Cai, Qiuying Han, Xin Xu, Kai Wang, Libing Yin, Jinwei Di, Tao Zhou, Ailing Li, Xiao Han, Weihua Li, Teng Li

This study shows that microglia-derived IL-18 reduces traumatic fear memory by restoring synaptic plasticity and modulating engram cell organization in the hippocampus.

Regulation of PDF Receptor signaling controlling daily locomotor rhythms in Drosophila

Weihua Li, Jennifer S. Trigg, Paul H. Taghert

This study investigates how PDF receptor signaling is terminated in Drosophila, showing that phosphorylation sites in its C-terminal tail regulate behavioral rhythms and that specific mutations alter these rhythms in a day-length-dependent manner.
