This study identifies Synaptotagmin-2 and Synaptotagmin-3 as distinct calcium sensors for glutamatergic and GABAergic release in lateral habenula neurons.

This study uses in utero electroporation to induce mTOR pathway dysregulation in rodents, revealing early developmental abnormalities in neuronal migration and axon proliferation linked to malformations of cortical development.

This study characterizes the diversity of L2/3 human neocortical pyramidal neurons in epileptic foci, comparing MCD and non-MCD cases and examining the effects of 4-AP on their intrinsic properties.

This study shows that Fmr1KO mice have hyperexcitability and increased excitatory synaptic strength in the lateral amygdala, with reduced feedforward inhibition contributing to enhanced plasticity and E/I imbalance linked to anxiety disorders.
