This study investigates changes in axo-axonic cells (AACs) in the dentate gyrus after status epilepticus, showing reduced synaptic inputs and altered firing properties that impair their inhibitory function.

This study shows that concussive brain injury impairs pattern separation in the dentate gyrus, affecting both cellular decorrelation of temporal inputs and behavioral discrimination of similar spatial locations.

This study shows parasitic nematode fatty acid- and retinol-binding proteins (FARs) suppress host immunity by modulating lipid signaling pathways and reducing antimicrobial peptide production in flies.

This paper identifies distinct cellular mechanisms by which TLR4 regulates network excitability and working memory after brain injury, showing TNF's role in mediating these effects.
