The paper develops cPcdhβ reporter mouse lines to visualize stochastic expression of cPcdhβ isoforms in vivo and identifies patterns such as cell-type selectivity and developmental regulation.

The paper shows that GABA levels in the adult mouse spinal cord regulate neural stem cell proliferation, with increased GABA reducing proliferation and decreased GABA increasing it.

This study shows that mossy cells in the hippocampus express functional extrasynaptic kainate receptors that can drive their activity when glutamate levels increase.

The paper identifies the indusium griseum as a prenatal target of psychostimulants and shows that Scgn+/Vglut1+ neurons in this region are critical for neuronal excitability and linked to behavioral abnormalities.

This study shows that Sema6A gene loss in mice reduces specific GABAergic interneurons, affecting neuronal connectivity and E/I balance in ASD.
