Endogenous oxytocin reconfigures brainwide network dynamics toward salience-related states

This study shows that endogenous oxytocin alters brain network dynamics, increasing salience-related network states and decreasing sensory-dominated states in mice.

Lack of the glycine receptor alpha 2 increases striatal activity and motivated behavior

This paper shows that lack of the glycine receptor alpha 2 in mice increases striatal activity and motivated behavior, linking it to psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and addiction.

ATAT1-enriched vesicles promote microtubule acetylation via axonal transport

This study shows that ATAT1-enriched vesicles are transported along axons to acetylate -tubulin, essential for proper vesicular transport.
