This study identifies reciprocal feedback inhibition and distinct intrinsic firing properties between two neuron classes in the mouse ventromedial hypothalamus involved in defensive behaviors.

The paper investigates the role of immediate early genes (IEGs) in social defeat-induced behavioral plasticity in the medial hypothalamus, finding that IEG activity is critical for adaptation and that NMDA receptor mechanisms may oppose this effect.

This study shows that complement signaling via C3r is critical for perinatal neuronal elimination but not synaptic pruning in the developing brain.

This study identifies serotonin as a regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function in rodent cortical neurons through the 5-HT2A receptor and SIRT1-PGC-1α axis, with neuroprotective effects.
