This study identifies a specific population of neurons in the dorsomedial hypothalamus that drive shivering thermogenesis during hypothermia.

This study develops a K+-selective channelrhodopsin for transcranial optogenetic inhibition of neuronal activity, showing reduced seizure activity in mouse models.

This study shows that increased CD47 in 16p11.2 deletion mice impairs microglial phagocytosis, leading to autism-like behaviors, and that reducing CD47 improves these deficits.

This study shows that prolonged 40 Hz light flicker improves spatial learning and neurogenesis in the hippocampus through GABAergic parvalbumin interneuron activity.

This study shows that early postnatal tobacco smoke exposure worsens experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in adult rats by reducing regulatory T cells and increasing inflammation.

This study shows that gallic acid reduces Aβ1-42 aggregation and neurotoxicity, improving cognitive decline in APP/PS1 transgenic mice.
