The paper investigates BDNF expression and estrogen receptor presence in mossy cells of the dentate gyrus, finding estrous cycle-dependent BDNF levels and high ER expression in MCs.

This study investigates how overexpression of the eIF4E gene in mice affects striatal long-term potentiation (LTP), finding increased LTP that is NMDA receptor-dependent but not blocked by D1/D2 receptor antagonists.

The paper investigates early hyperexcitability in mossy cells of the dentate gyrus in the Tg2576 Alzheimer's model, finding increased excitatory events and intrinsic changes before memory deficits occur.

This study shows that increasing adult-born neurons in mice reduces chronic seizures and neuronal loss after status epilepticus, with a notable sex difference.

The paper examines mossy fiber BDNF protein stability in AD mouse models and finds it remains unchanged with age, correlating with neuronal activity and resistance to amyloid-beta accumulation.

This study examines electrophysiological changes in dentate gyrus granule cells of Tg2576 mice, showing increased excitation, reduced inhibition, and altered cholinergic regulation.
