Ultrafast venous and sagittal sinus constrictions in the brain driven by abdominal pressure

The paper identifies ultrafast venous and sagittal sinus contractions in mice driven by abdominal pressure and mechanical coupling, affecting cerebral blood flow.

Gut-Brain Hydraulics: Brain motion and CSF circulation is driven by mechanical coupling with the abdomen

This study shows brain motion in mice is driven by abdominal muscle contractions and linked to hydraulic fluid flow, impacting brain health through mechanical coupling with the abdomen.

CaBLAM! A high-contrast bioluminescent Ca2+ indicator derived from an engineered Oplophorus gracilirostris luciferase

This paper introduces CaBLAM, a bioluminescent Ca2+ indicator with improved dynamic range and Ca2+ affinity, enabling high-resolution imaging of cellular activity in cultured neurons and in vivo.

Integrated Ultrasound Neuromodulation and Optical Neuroimaging in Awake Mice using a Transparent Ultrasound Transducer Cranial Window

This paper introduces a transparent ultrasound transducer cranial window for integrating ultrasound neuromodulation and optical neuroimaging in awake mice, showing increased cerebral blood flow and hemoglobin with stimulation.

Cytokine expression patterns predict suppression of vulnerable neural circuits in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

The paper identifies immune signatures predicting changes in neural circuit activity in a mouse Alzheimer's model.

Arousal state transitions occlude sensory-evoked neurovascular coupling in neonatal mice

The paper shows that in neonatal mice, sensory stimulation causes vasoconstriction only when mice are asleep, as arousal state changes override neurovascular coupling.

Relating pupil diameter and blinking to cortical activity and hemodynamics across arousal states

This study examines how pupil diameter and blinking correlate with cortical activity and hemodynamics across different arousal states in mice, finding strong relationships that can reliably indicate arousal state.

Neurovascular coupling and bilateral connectivity during NREM and REM sleep

This study examines how cerebral hemodynamics change during different sleep states in mice, finding that hemodynamic responses during NREM and REM sleep are significantly larger than those evoked by sensory stimulation.

Functional hyperemia drives fluid exchange in the paravascular space

This study shows that functional hyperemia drives fluid exchange in the paravascular space by interacting with brain tissue deformability.

Intranasal Administration of Functionalized Soot Particles Disrupts Olfactory Sensory Neuron Progenitor Cells in the Neuroepithelium

This study shows that oxygen-functionalized soots reduce olfactory progenitor cells in mice, potentially affecting CSF drainage and linking air pollution to neurodegenerative disease risk.
