The paper investigates electrical signaling between mid-capillary pericytes and endothelial cells in the neurovascular unit, showing syncytial coupling and its role in transmitting seizure-associated signals without relying on VGCCs.

The paper characterizes neuronal and synaptic diversity in human layer 2-3 pyramidal neurons across individuals, finding that neuronal physiology varies with laminar depth while synaptic properties are consistent.

This paper introduces a high-throughput in-vitro multipatch setup for analyzing microcircuits in human brain tissue, enabling the study of synaptic connections across multiple neurons.
