This study shows that microglial MyD88 signaling affects ECM development and interneuron maturation in the hippocampus, with sex-specific effects on PVI density and behavior.

This study identifies IL34 as a neuron-derived cytokine that regulates microglia maturation and synapse engulfment in the developing mouse cortex.

The paper shows that prenatal exposure to air pollution and maternal stress in mice causes social deficits in male offspring, which can be prevented by microbiome modulation or dopamine activation.

This study shows that prenatal opioid exposure reduces microglial pruning of dopamine D1 receptors in male rats, leading to increased D1R density and impaired extinction of oxycodone-conditioned place preference.

The paper shows myosin 1d is essential for establishing left-right asymmetry in zebrafish through actin-myosin driven chirality.
