This study shows that TND1128 and its analogs protect cells from H2O2-induced oxidative stress by enhancing mitochondrial function.

This study examines the distribution and developmental changes of presynaptically active and silent synapses in hippocampal neurons, introducing a new method called donut analysis.

This study shows that inhibitory synaptic transmission is impaired in Scn1a+/- mice, with reduced inhibitory synapses and increased sensitivity to extracellular Ca2+.

This study shows that astrocyte Ca2+ signaling is enhanced in Scn1a+/- mice, suggesting a role for astrocytic Ca2+ dysregulation in Dravet syndrome pathogenesis.

This study shows that higher astrocyte density increases excitatory synaptic transmission by increasing functional synapses and reducing presynaptically silent synapses.
