The autonomic effects of transcutaneous auricular nerve stimulation at different sites on the external auricle of the ear

This study evaluates the autonomic effects of transcutaneous auricular nerve stimulation at four ear sites, finding that heart rate variability changes significantly across all sites with baseline LF/HF ratio predicting response.

Manipulating mitochondrial dynamics in the NTS prevents diet-induced deficits in brown fat morphology and glucose uptake

The paper shows that manipulating mitochondrial dynamics in NTS-astrocytes affects BAT glucose uptake and metabolism in response to high-fat diets.

Graded spikes differentially signal neurotransmitter input in cerebrospinal fluid contacting neurons of the mouse spinal cord

The paper shows that cerebrospinal fluid contacting neurons in the mouse spinal cord use different Ca2+ channels to generate graded spikes that signal distinct neurotransmitter inputs.

The in-tissue molecular architecture of β-amyloid pathology in the mammalian brain.

This study reveals the in-tissue molecular architecture of β-amyloid fibrils in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, showing their arrangement in lattices and their structural differences due to the Arctic mutation.

GABAergic regulation of cell proliferation within the adult mouse spinal cord

The paper shows that GABA levels in the adult mouse spinal cord regulate neural stem cell proliferation, with increased GABA reducing proliferation and decreased GABA increasing it.

Kv3 channels contribute to the excitability of sub-populations of spinal cord neurons in lamina VII

The paper identifies four neuronal types in spinal cord lamina VII, showing Kv3 channels are critical for fast firing in interneurons and synaptic inhibition of parasympathetic preganglionic neurons.
