This study shows that inhibiting the integrated stress response (ISR) after concussive injury reverses cognitive deficits and aberrant cortical spine dynamics in mice.

The paper shows mild depolarization in neurons triggers immediate early genes and temporarily reduces responses to subsequent stimuli.

This study shows that mice lacking paternal expression of Grb10 exhibit increased risk-taking behavior in specific tasks, supporting the idea that imprinted genes influence risk tolerance oppositely based on parental origin.
