The paper shows that sensory experience increases glutamate release and strengthens synaptic connections in the barrel cortex, leading to changes in the functional connectome.

The paper shows that astrocytic RNA editing via ADAR1 modulates immune responses to alpha-synuclein, contributing to neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease.

The paper improves a GABA sensor, iGABASnFR2, with higher sensitivity and faster kinetics, enabling better in vivo imaging of GABAergic transmission.

The paper shows that volume-transmitted GABA waves drive epileptiform rhythms in hippocampal networks by elevating tonic GABAA receptor conductance across multiple cells.

This study uses hiPSCs with SNCA mutations to identify early molecular events in synucleinopathy, showing protein aggregation precedes functional impairments in midbrain dopaminergic neurons.

The paper shows that release probability increases with distance from the soma in CA3-CA1 synapses, enhancing signal transfer fidelity at higher frequencies.

This study shows that LTP induces astroglial withdrawal, increasing glutamate spillover and inter-synaptic communication.
