The paper identifies a mechanism of mitochondrial self-renewal in sensory neurons through asymmetric division, showing mtDNA-rich mitochondria at axon branch points produce mtDNA-depleted daughters.

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2's PLpro activates nociceptors to cause sneezing and pain by triggering TRPA1-dependent responses.

The paper shows that rat hippocampal neurons encode visual stimuli with vectorial spatial selectivity, which is retrospective and distinct from place cells.

The paper measures dendritic membrane potential in freely behaving rats over multiple days, revealing higher dendritic spiking rates and hybrid analog-digital coding.

This study shows that visual cues, not vestibular cues, drive hippocampal directional selectivity in rodents during navigation.

This study investigates hippocampal neuron activity in virtual reality and real-world environments, finding that spatial selectivity is reduced in VR but phase-precession (hippocampal motifs) persists, suggesting intrinsic network mechanisms generate temporal coding independent of spatial localization.
