The paper shows that surviving DA SN neurons after lesion recovery exhibit full in vivo firing range through Kv4.3-mediated pacemaker plasticity.

This study identifies a Kv4 channelopathy in mouse vagal motoneurons caused by α-synuclein overexpression, leading to impaired gastrointestinal motility as a non-motor prodromal symptom of Parkinson's disease.

This study maps the in vivo firing patterns of midbrain dopamine neurons based on their axonal projections, revealing functional diversity that challenges classical anatomical boundaries.
