The paper discovers a new synaptic structure called the Honeycomb Synapse in the spinal cord, showing its vulnerability in ALS models.

This study identifies synapse-specific pathology in a TDP43 mouse model of ALS, showing changes in cholinergic and excitatory synapses but not astrocytic pathology.

This study identifies intrinsic biophysical properties of gamma motoneurons in mice, revealing mechanisms underlying their low recruitment threshold and high firing rates.

This study shows that episodic rhythmicity in the developing mammalian spinal cord arises from a distributed network of interneurons, with afferent control and VLF projections playing key roles.

This study shows that M-type potassium currents influence motoneuron recruitment by modulating subtype-specific firing properties and recruitment gain in mice.

This study uses super-resolution microscopy to characterize phosphorylated TDP-43 expression in spinal cord synapses of ALS mice and healthy controls.

The paper investigates tripartite synapse loss in ALS models and human tissue, finding selective vulnerability of these synapses in both mice and humans.
