This study identifies ARHGAP8 as a novel synaptic protein involved in excitatory synapse morphology and function, with implications for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.

This study shows that increasing SVCT2 in microglia reduces amyloid plaques, improves synaptic plasticity, and enhances memory in Alzheimer's disease models.

This study shows Rac1 in microglia is crucial for synaptic proteome plasticity and cognitive performance through homeostatic regulation and synapse communication.

This study shows that Meth exposure causes microglia reactivity through astrocyte-derived TNF and glutamate, affecting behavior in adult mice.

This study shows that alcohol intake causes excessive synaptic pruning by microglia, leading to synapse loss and anxiety-like behavior.

This study shows that loss of Rhoa in microglia causes neurodegeneration through Src-mediated Tnf production and excitotoxic glutamate secretion.
