Cross-pathway integration of cAMP signals through cGMP and calcium-regulated phosphodiesterases in mouse striatal cholinergic interneurons.

The paper investigates cAMP signaling dynamics in mouse striatal cholinergic interneurons, revealing distinct regulatory mechanisms involving phosphodiesterases and neuromodulators like NO and glutamate.

Bidirectional control of neurovascular coupling by cortical somatostatin interneurons

This study shows that cortical somatostatin interneurons bidirectionally control neurovascular coupling through nitric oxide and neuropeptide Y release at different frequencies.

Pivotal role of PDE10A in the integration of dopamine signals in mice striatal D1 and D2 medium-sized spiny neurones.

The paper investigates the role of PDE10A in dopamine signal integration in striatal D1 and D2 MSNs using FRET biosensors, finding that PDE10A uniquely reduces cAMP to baseline in both neuron types.

Contrasting patterns of ERK activation in the tail of the striatum in response to aversive and rewarding signals

The paper investigates ERK activation in the tail of the striatum (TS) in response to various stimuli, finding that D1R-SPNs in specific subterritories are activated by psychostimulants but not hallucinogens.
