This study shows that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound enhances excitatory synaptic transmission in high-density hippocampal neuron cultures by increasing EPSC frequency and amplitude.

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms for synapsin-induced synaptic vesicle clustering at inhibitory and excitatory synapses, showing that LLPS and tetramerization have opposite roles in regulating vesicle dynamics.

The paper shows that cholinergic inputs to the claustrum co-release acetylcholine and GABA, differentially affecting cortical and subcortical projection neurons to alter network efficiency and output discriminability.

This study investigates the functional connectivity between the claustrum and anterior cingulate cortex by examining pre- and postsynaptic interactions using electrophysiology and optogenetics.

The paper defines the function of a feedback inhibitory circuit between cerebellar Purkinje cells and MLIs using optogenetics, recordings, and computational modeling, showing it enhances learning efficiency.

The paper identifies three distinct subtypes of somatostatin-expressing neurons in the mouse ventral tegmental area, revealing their heterogeneity in electrophysiological, morphological, and molecular properties.
