This study shows that the sex of human experimenters affects mouse behaviors, stress responses, and drug responses like ketamine, mediated by CRF neurons.

This study shows that a Shank3 mutation causes elevated calcium in dendritic spines due to reduced inhibition from SST interneurons, and correcting this improves learning deficits.

This study shows that ketamine suppresses SST interneurons, leading to increased calcium signals in dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex of awake mice.
