This study challenges the role of resident cardiac macrophages in AV node conduction by showing no evidence of Cx43-mediated coupling and no effect of macrophage depletion on AV electrical activity.

This study identifies cholecystokinin (CCK) as the primary regulator of gonadotropin secretion in zebrafish, showing it controls ovarian development and FSH release.

This study investigates the role of T-type calcium channel Cav3.2 in PKCγ neurons of the spinal dorsal horn during chronic pain, showing its involvement in synaptic and intrinsic activity changes but not in firing properties.

This study shows that Magel2 deficiency in mice leads to impaired discrimination of social fear and safety, linked to reduced oxytocin neuron activity in the supraoptic nucleus.

This study uses microendoscopic Ca2+ imaging to show that SCN neurons in vivo exhibit both fast Ca2+ spikes and slow baseline changes, revealing diverse activity patterns within a coordinated circadian network.
