EphB1 controls proper long-range cortical axon guidance through a cell non-autonomous role in GABAergic cells

This study shows that EphB1 in GABAergic neurons is essential for guiding cortical glutamatergic axons during brain development by preventing them from following blood vessels.

NPAS4 in the medial prefrontal cortex mediates chronic social defeat stress- induced anhedonia and dendritic spine loss

This study shows that NPAS4 in the medial prefrontal cortex is required for chronic social defeat stress-induced anhedonia and dendritic spine loss, but not social avoidance or anxiety-like behavior.

MEF2C hypofunction in neuronal and neuroimmune populations cooperate to produce MEF2C haploinsufficiency syndrome-like behaviors in mice

This study shows that MEF2C hypofunction in neuronal and neuroimmune populations causes MCHS-like behaviors in mice, highlighting its role in brain development and function.

Generality and opponency of rostromedial tegmental (RMTg) roles in valence processing

This study shows RMTg neurons encode aversion across various stimuli and timescales, influence VTA responses, and their lesions impair aversion-related behaviors.
