This study uses cryo-EM to reveal drebrin's structural interaction with F-actin through two domains, explaining its modulatory role in actin networks and competitive binding with other proteins.

This study identifies a molecular switch driven by neuronal activity and PGC-1 that promotes the maturation of parvalbumin interneurons during postnatal development.

This study identifies how neuropeptide-encoding genes regulate synaptic plasticity in parvalbumin interneurons in the adult mouse neocortex.

The paper identifies somatostatin-expressing interneurons as critical for controlling the timing of developmental desynchronization in cortical networks.

The paper identifies a signaling pathway that regulates local protein synthesis at specific synapses on PV+ interneurons in the mouse cortex.

The paper identifies input-specific mechanisms regulating the survival of two striatal interneuron subtypes during programmed cell death.

The paper introduces genetic tools in Drosophila to enable spatiotemporally controlled perturbations for studying non-autonomous cell interactions and their effects on phenotypes.
