Motor impairment and adaptation in a novel non-human primate model of internal capsule infarct

This study develops a non-human primate model of internal capsule infarct to study motor impairments and adaptations, finding persistent distal deficits and compensatory behavioral strategies.

Loss of Intracellular Fibroblast Growth Factor 14 (iFGF14) Increases the Excitability of Mature Hippocampal and Cortical Pyramidal Neurons

This study shows that loss of iFGF14 increases excitability of mature hippocampal and cortical pyramidal neurons by altering INaT voltage-dependence and action potential waveform.

Kv12-Encoded K+ Channels Drive the Day-Night Switch in the Repetitive Firing Rates of SCN Neurons

The paper investigates the role of Kv12-encoded K+ channels in regulating day-night firing rate rhythms in SCN neurons, finding they drive the nighttime decrease in firing rates.
