ThermoClock is an automated temperature control system that models circadian entrainment and disruption in 2D and 3D in vitro models, showing that ramp time and cycle duration affect rhythm strength and wound healing.

This study shows that in mice, female-specific left-right asymmetry in hippocampal function interacts with estrous cycle stage to influence chronic seizure patterns following kainic acid injection.

The paper examines changes in pituitary function in a mouse model of chronic temporal lobe epilepsy, finding increased GnRH sensitivity and gene expression in females but no significant changes in LH or FSH levels.

This study shows that injecting kainic acid into the left or right hippocampus of female mice leads to different reproductive endocrine and cellular outcomes, despite similar estrous cycle disruptions.
