Learning induces persistent chromatin loops underlying robust gene expression during memory recall

The paper identifies persistent chromatin loops in hippocampal neurons after fear conditioning that correlate with gene expression changes during memory recall.

Immediate early genes act in the medial hypothalamus to promote adaptation to social defeat

The paper investigates the role of immediate early genes (IEGs) in social defeat-induced behavioral plasticity in the medial hypothalamus, finding that IEG activity is critical for adaptation and that NMDA receptor mechanisms may oppose this effect.

Trim66 paternal deficiency causes intrauterine overgrowth

This study shows that Trim66 deficiency in male mice leads to paternal transmission of intrauterine overgrowth in offspring.

Induction of flight via midbrain projections to thecuneiform nucleus

The paper identifies midbrain projections to the cuneiform nucleus that induce flight behavior through optogenetic stimulation.

Identification of evolutionarily conserved nuclear matrix proteins and their prokaryotic origins

This study identifies 362 conserved nuclear matrix proteins in Drosophila species, finding 132 originated from prokaryotes and 68 are conserved across all eukaryotes.
