This study shows that sleep deprivation does not cause oxidative damage or lethality in Drosophila, but increases vulnerability to trauma through enhanced synaptic strength.

This study shows that microglia regulate glutamatergic synapses in adult mouse hippocampus, with their removal causing reversible synaptic and behavioral changes.

This study shows that astrocytic Dys1A hypofunction disrupts dopamine dynamics and leads to motivational and sensorimotor gating deficits in the basal ganglia.
