Selective vulnerability of intracortical projection neurons drives long-term cortical circuit rewiring after perinatal hypoxia

This study shows that perinatal hypoxia leads to persistent transcriptional and structural changes in cortical neurons, resulting in altered connectivity and behavioral deficits in adult mice.

The hypervirulent Group B Streptococcus HvgA adhesin promotes brain invasion through transcellular crossing of the choroid plexus

This study shows that the hypervirulent GBS CC17 strain uses the HvgA adhesin to invade the choroid plexus, crossing the blood-CSF barrier through transcellular transcytosis.

A marked enhancement of a BLOC-1 gene, pallidin, associated with somnolent mouse models deficient in histamine transmission

The paper identifies pallidin, a BLOC-1 gene, as upregulated in mice lacking histamine and orexin, associated with sleep disorders and altered neurotransmitter systems.
