The neurovascular unit of capillary blood vessels in the rat nervous system. A rapid-Golgi electron microscopic study.

The paper describes a pericapillary organ in the rat nervous system composed of tripartite synapses and astrocytic endfeet, suggesting a mechanoreceptor role and presynaptic modulation by Piezo 1 mRNA.

FIRST INSIGHTS IN A NON-RODENT MODEL SPECIES OF THE OLFACTORY LIMBUS. THE RED FOX (Vulpes vulpes) AS A CASE IN POINT

The paper studies the olfactory limbus in red foxes, finding it highly developed and complex, suggesting its value as a model for non-canonical chemosensory processing.

Histological validation of per-bundle water diffusion metrics within a region of fiber crossing following axonal degeneration

The paper validates per-bundle dMRI metrics in a fiber crossing region using histological data from axonally degenerated optic nerves in rats.

On the existence of mechanoreceptors within the neurovascular unit of the rodent and rabbit brain

The paper identifies perivascular interneurons and fibro-vesicular complexes in rodent and rabbit brains, suggesting they function as mechanoreceptors within the neurovascular unit.
