The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations and electrophysiology to study conformational changes in TMEM16A upon inhibitor removal, revealing conductive and non-conductive states and mechanisms of Ca2+-dependent gating.

The paper uses chemogenetic approaches to show that Amigo1-expressing GABAergic neurons in the IPN are critical for anxiety-like behaviors during nicotine withdrawal, while Epyc-expressing neurons are not.

The paper shows that GABAB autoreceptors suppress neurotransmitter release during repetitive stimulation via the Gβγ-SNARE pathway, distinct from exogenous agonist effects.

This study identifies a role for the Drosophila voltage-gated sodium channel, paralytic, in regulating neural progenitor proliferation and tumor suppression.
