Copper deficiency drives OXPHOS impairment and mitochondrial hyperfusion via MTCH2 in skeletal muscle

This study shows that copper deficiency in skeletal muscle leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and hyperfusion via MTCH2, and restoring copper rescues these defects.

Encoding opposing valences through frequency-dependent transmitter switching in single peptidergic neurons

The paper shows that CGRPPBel neurons encode opposing valence through frequency-dependent differential release of glutamate and neuropeptides in response to aversive and appetitive stimuli.

Neural basis of opioid-induced respiratory depression and its rescue

This study identifies PBLOprm1 neurons as critical for opioid-induced respiratory depression and shows their activation can rescue respiratory rhythms.

Unified neural pathways that gate affective pain and multisensory innate threat signals to the amygdala

The paper identifies unified neural pathways that gate affective pain and multisensory innate threat signals to the amygdala, revealing their role in aversive perception.
