The paper improves transfection methods for primary cultured astrocytes to better observe cytoskeletal structures and protein behaviors.

The paper identifies Bergmann glia in the cerebellum as mediators of noxious information processing and their role in modulating pain-related behaviors.

This study shows that sequential activation of microglia and astrocytes contributes to epileptogenesis after status epilepticus, with reactive astrocytes playing a key role in seizure susceptibility.

iAChSnFR, a fluorescent indicator built from a bacterial periplasmic binding protein, reports acetylcholine with large, fast signals in mouse, fish, fly and worm preparations.
