The paper shows that local cooling improves the selectivity of electrical stimulation in nerves by reducing unwanted activity and enabling directional control.

This study identifies a neuroimmune circuit linking chronic stress, REM sleep, and behavioral susceptibility through monocyte-driven microglial remodeling and PV neuron activity.

This study identifies a hypothalamic-pontine-spinal pathway that promotes locomotion and functional recovery after spinal cord injury in mice through optogenetic manipulation and deep brain stimulation.

This paper identifies a REM-active basal ganglia circuit in mice that regulates REM sleep and anxiety by showing its role in sleep duration and behavioral responses to aversive stimuli.

The paper identifies NOS1 neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus as sleep-active and shows they regulate NREM and REM sleep and body temperature.

The paper identifies a circuit pathway in mice where sleep-deprived prefrontal cortex neurons trigger nesting and sleep via connections to the preoptic and hypothalamus.

This study shows that dysfunction of VTA GABA neurons leads to mania-like behaviors, including increased wakefulness and reduced sleep, which can be reversed by valproate.

This study shows that galanin neurons in the hypothalamus regulate sleep homeostasis, body temperature, and the effects of dexmedetomidine.
