Dysfunctional LHX6 pallido-subthalamic projections mediate epileptic events in a mouse model of Leigh Syndrome

This study identifies dysfunctional pallido-subthalamic projections as a mediator of epilepsy in a mouse model of Leigh Syndrome and suggests STN inhibition as a potential therapeutic target.

Dorsal Striatum Parvalbumin interneurons translatome unveiled

The paper profiles the translatome of dorsal striatum PV interneurons, identifying molecular signatures and gene expression changes linked to psychostimulant exposure and reward behaviors.

Midbrain dopamine D2R regulates the salience of threat-related events

This study investigates the role of dopamine D2 autoreceptors in regulating VTA dopamine neuron responses to aversive stimuli and finds they act as a regulatory brake with sex-biased effects on threat processing.

Selection of active defensive behaviors relies on extended amygdala dopamine D2 receptors

This study shows that dopamine D2 receptors in the extended amygdala are crucial for switching between passive and active defensive behaviors in response to threats.

Regulation of GluA1 Phosphorylation by D-amphetamine and Methylphenidate in the Cerebellum

This paper shows that d-amphetamine and methylphenidate increase GluA1 phosphorylation at Ser845 in mouse cerebellar Bergmann Glia Cells via norepinephrine signaling.

Cerebellar dopamine D2 receptors regulate preference for social novelty

This study shows that cerebellar dopamine D2 receptors in Purkinje cells regulate social novelty preference in mice without affecting motor functions.
