This study shows that the left medial habenula (MHb) in mice has functional asymmetry in fear expression, mediated by GABAB receptors, and this asymmetry is influenced by internal organ laterality.

The paper identifies a female-selective corticosterone-mediated microglia-neuron interaction during ketamine anesthesia recovery that drives neuronal plasticity.

The paper identifies a thalamic hub-and-spoke circuit that coordinates visuomotor dynamics by integrating visual and motor signals to refine perception during action.

This study identifies multipotent progenitors in the superior colliculus that generate all excitatory and inhibitory neuron types without extrinsic input.

The paper identifies a two-pool mechanism in medial habenula terminals where GABAB receptor activation increases the readily releasable pool and alters vesicle coupling distances.

The paper identifies a shared visual perception and place avoidance deficit in ASD models, linked to Kv1 channel hypoexcitability in the dPAG, and shows pharmacological rescue of these deficits.

This paper investigates the role of RIM-BP2 in organizing Ca2+ channel topography and regulating synaptic vesicle release probability and replenishment at a fast central synapse.

The paper investigates how GABAB receptor auxiliary subunits modulate Cav2.3-mediated neurotransmitter release in medial habenula terminals, revealing their role in synaptic strength regulation.

This study shows that ECSIT regulates neuronal mitochondrial ROS and mitophagy, and its reduction contributes to Alzheimer's disease pathology.

This study identifies a ventral hippocampal pathway that gates novelty-driven memory formation by activating dorsal hippocampal granule cells.
