The paper shows that local translation sustains synaptic function in impaired Wallerian degeneration by identifying mTOR and related pathways involved in protein synthesis and calcium homeostasis.

This study shows that overexpressing UCP4 in astrocytic mitochondria prevents metabolic and structural neuronal dysfunctions in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

This study shows that autophagy in parvalbumin interneurons is essential for synaptic proteostasis, inhibitory transmission, and memory, but not for Purkinje cells.

The paper identifies heterogeneous habenular neuronal clusters in mice that predict or reflect the selection of distinct defensive behaviors in response to visual threats.
