This study identifies the kynurenine metabolic pathway as a key factor in sustaining neuropathic pain through interactions between meningeal dendritic cells and astrocytes.

This study shows that fusiform neurons in the mouse dorsal cochlear nucleus transition from a quiet to an active firing state after hearing onset, linked to increased persistent sodium current.

The paper investigates the role of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in controlling spontaneous firing of glycinergic cartwheel neurons in the auditory brainstem and links their activity to tinnitus-related hyperactivity.

This study investigates how high-intensity sound exposure inhibits hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) by reducing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and shows that BDNF or TrkB agonists can reverse this effect.

This study shows that prolonged exposure to high-intensity sound increases GABAergic inhibition in hippocampal CA1 neurons, potentially reducing long-term potentiation.
