Maternal high-fat diet drives sex-specific microglia remodeling of serotonergic reward circuitry

This study shows maternal high-fat diet causes sex-specific microglia remodeling of serotonergic reward circuits in mice, leading to altered behavior and serotonin function.

Prenatal exposure to environmental stressors alters gut macrophage development and gastrointestinal function of male offspring

This study shows that prenatal exposure to environmental stressors disrupts gut macrophage development and causes GI dysfunction in male offspring.

Astrocytic Gi-GPCR activation enhances stimulus-evoked extracellular glutamate

The paper investigates how astrocytic Gi-GPCR activation affects extracellular glutamate and GABA levels in response to visual stimuli, finding increased glutamate but not GABA dynamics.

An event-based paradigm for analyzing fluorescent astrocyte activity uncovers novel single-cell and population-level physiology

The paper introduces AQuA, an event-based analysis tool for astrocyte imaging data, revealing novel single-cell and population-level physiological phenomena.
