This study shows that the VGLUT3-p.T8I mutation in male mice alters striatal acetylcholine dynamics during social stress, leading to increased social avoidance and anxiety.

This study identifies the synaptic targets and cellular sources of CB1 and VGLUT3-expressing nerve terminals in the human cerebral cortex, showing their interactions with GABAergic neurons.

This study investigates the role of 5-HT-glutamate co-releasing neurons in stress response using genetic and behavioral experiments in mice.

This study shows that chronic dopamine transporter blockade in the mouse hippocampus causes learning and memory deficits, which are partially reversed by D2 receptor antagonists.

This study shows that in a mouse model of early Alzheimer's disease, grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex show impaired spatial coding, coinciding with early Aβ fibril deposition and spatial memory deficits.

The paper studies a VGLUT3 variant causing DFNA25 deafness, showing fused stereocilia bundles and elongated synaptic ribbons in a mouse model.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which VGLUT1 increases synaptic vesicle clustering, reducing superpool size and spontaneous release frequency through interactions with endophilinA1 and intersectin1.
