This study evaluates how prenatal betamethasone exposure and tubular maturation affect gentamicin-induced kidney injury and nephron number in rats.

This study shows that microglial BDNF is essential for ketamine's antidepressant and synaptogenic effects in the prefrontal cortex.

This study shows that genetic activation of ERK2 in mice models key neurodevelopmental features of Rasopathy syndromes, including cognitive impairments and facial dysmorphology.

This study identifies microglia as the primary source of TGF-β1 ligand in the adult mouse brain, showing its role in maintaining microglial homeostasis and cognitive function through an autocrine mechanism.

This study shows that dopamine release in the lateral shell of the ventral striatum encodes visual stimulus properties like luminance changes rather than threat level in mice.

This study shows that dorsal raphe dopamine neurons encode motivational salience, responding to reward and punishment cues and modulated by internal and external states.

The paper identifies PnocBNST neurons in the BNST that encode rapid arousal responses to motivational stimuli and show distinct physiological and behavioral effects.
