This study shows that aggrecan in excitatory neurons, not perineuronal nets, limits visual plasticity by closing the critical period in adult mice.

The paper shows that suppressing cortical glutamatergic neurons can paradoxically cause seizures and interictal discharges in vivo.

The paper identifies seizure initiation zones in a zebrafish model, showing hyperexcitation in excitatory neurons precedes seizure propagation.

The paper investigates how inhibitory control affects the spread of focal ictal activity in a rodent model, showing that localized inhibition defects can lead to both classical and epileptic network propagation.
