This study shows that Fn14, a cytokine receptor, acts as a molecular brake on neuronal activity in adult mice, influencing circadian rhythms, sleep, and memory.

The paper describes two methods to quantify synapse engulfment by OPCs, combining in vivo imaging and flow cytometry for high-throughput analysis.

This study shows OPCs engulf synaptic inputs in a microglia-dependent manner during experience-dependent plasticity in the mouse visual cortex.

This study shows that Fn14 and microglia influence transcription and chromatin accessibility in developing neurons, affecting synaptic function and neural circuit refinement.
