This study shows that astrocyte stimulation can restore retinogeniculate synapse plasticity after the critical period in dark-reared mice.

This paper develops an implantable microprism interface for deep-brain imaging with submicrometer resolution and wide-field two-photon microscopy.

The paper develops a two-photon imaging method to study neural activity in the NTS during VNS and hormone exposure, revealing insights into vagus-NTS pathway function.

The paper shows blood flow promotes neuronal migration in the adult brain by enhancing ghrelin signaling, which aids in olfactory function during food-seeking behavior.

The paper uses computational methods to analyze neural activity in the mouse dmPFC during fear conditioning, revealing learning-dependent changes in network topology and hub formation.

This study shows that sequential activation of microglia and astrocytes contributes to epileptogenesis after status epilepticus, with reactive astrocytes playing a key role in seizure susceptibility.

This study shows that increasing KCC2 in mice reduces seizure-like activity and prevents status epilepticus, suggesting KCC2 targeting could help treat excitation-inhibition imbalances.
