This study characterizes Oropouche orthobunyavirus replication in neural cells and brain slices, showing cytokine production and providing a model for studying viral neuropathogenesis.

This study identifies Lrp1 as a host factor required for Jamestown Canyon virus infection of neurons and shows it is shared by other bunyaviruses.

The paper identifies Ribosome-Associated Vesicles (RAVs) as dynamic platforms that facilitate activity-dependent local translation in neurons by transporting ribosomes to distal processes.

This paper shows a Kalirin mutation enhances RhoA signaling, causing dendritic regression in mice during adolescence, linking it to schizophrenia-like structural impairments.
