The paper uses single nuclei RNA-sequencing to identify striatal cell types in humans and rhesus macaques and finds molecular changes linked to opioid use disorder.

The paper introduces an optogenetic tool that links neural activity to gene expression using a single AAV vector, improving temporal resolution and signal fidelity.

The paper investigates the BDNF-induced JAK/STAT pathway in neurons, identifying its role in regulating ion channels, neurotransmitter receptors, and synaptic plasticity through non-canonical STAT3 activation.

The paper identifies NRF-1 as a regulator of GABRB1 transcription in neurons, linking inhibitory neurotransmission to cellular metabolism through a conserved NRF-1 binding site.

The paper examines changes in hnRNP H localization in primary rat cortical neurons after D1 dopamine receptor activation, finding increased nuclear immunostaining of the C-terminal domain without changes in protein levels.
