Ongoing loss of viable neurons for weeks after mild perinatal hypoxia-ischemia

This study shows that mild perinatal hypoxia-ischemia causes delayed and prolonged neuronal death, with neurons dying later showing normal function and viability for days post-injury.

Pyramidal cell types and 5-HT2A receptors are essential for psilocybin's lasting drug action

This study identifies specific pyramidal cell types and 5-HT2A receptors in the medial frontal cortex as essential for psilocybin's long-term therapeutic effects.

Diverse ancestral brainstem noradrenergic neuron activity across species and biological factors

This study analyzes LC neuron firing patterns across species and biological factors, revealing diverse activity patterns and subregions enriched for specific factors and disease models.

Frontal cortex norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine dynamics in an innate fear-reward behavioral model

The paper investigates neuromodulator dynamics in mice during a naturalistic reward-threat task, finding distinct roles for norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in encoding motivational states.
