The paper identifies cadherins as mediators of cell type-specific inhibitory connectivity between pyramidal neurons and interneurons in the neocortex.

This study shows that NRM serotonergic neurons bidirectionally control spinal nociception through different 5-HT receptors, with 5-HT2c mediating analgesia and 5-HT3 causing hyperalgesia.

This study evaluates the PenkCre mouse line as a tool to label and study embryonically-born dentate granule neurons in young mice.

The paper investigates the interaction between mature oligodendrocytes and blood vessels in the mouse brain, finding that ~17% of oligodendrocytes are in contact with capillaries and suggesting a role in vascular microenvironment.
