Combinatorial expression of neurexin genes regulates glomerular targeting by olfactory sensory neurons

The paper identifies neurexin gene expression patterns in olfactory sensory neurons that guide axonal targeting to specific glomeruli through interactions with neuroligins in mitral/tufted cells.

Neurexins in serotonergic neurons regulate serotonin transmission and complex mouse behaviors

This study shows that disrupting Neurexins in serotonergic neurons reduces serotonin release and alters behavior in mice.

EPHierStats: a statistical tool to model the hierarchical relationships in electrophysiological data

EPHierStats models hierarchical relationships in electrophysiological data to prevent pseudoreplication and improve statistical accuracy in neuroscience studies.

A Specific Neuroligin3-αNeurexin1 Code Regulates GABAergic Synaptic Function in Mouse Hippocampus

The paper shows that Nlgn3 interacts with Nrxn1+AS4 in inhibitory synapses to regulate synaptic transmission in mouse hippocampus.

Neuroligin3 Splice Isoforms Shape Mouse Hippocampal Inhibitory Synaptic Function

This study shows that different splice variants of Neuroligin3 affect inhibitory synaptic function in mouse hippocampal CA1 neurons and reveals the diversity of Nlgn gene expression in these neurons.
