This study links the FREM3 gene to brain and cognitive aging using cross-species evidence from mice and humans, showing reduced brain volume and cognitive performance in Frem3 knockout mice and lower FREM3-GReX associated with reduced brain surface area and cognitive performance in humans.

This study investigates the role of IFN-γ receptor signaling in SST interneurons, showing it supports normal behavior and molecular homeostasis while mediating inflammation-induced deficits.

This study investigates how acute and chronic stress affect neuronal and astroglial activity and communication in the prefrontal cortex, finding that chronic stress impairs neuron-astroglia coupling and is linked to behavioral deficits.

This study shows that depletion of PFC GFAP+ astroglia induces anhedonia-like behavior, while their activation reverses stress-induced anhedonia, highlighting their role in depression.

This study shows chronic amygdala hyperactivation in mice increases anxiety and may worsen stress-induced anxiety but does not cause depressive-like behaviors.
