This study shows lithium affects behavior and physiology through the gut-brain axis by activating gut enterochromaffin cells, challenging the belief that lithium acts directly on the brain.

This study identifies Tau as a regulator of NMDA receptor trafficking during homeostatic synaptic plasticity, showing that Tau phosphorylation and interactions with Fyn kinase modulate receptor stability.

This study shows that tau phosphorylation during memory encoding is essential for forming remote memory engrams and efficient recall, linking tau to Alzheimer's disease memory decline.
