This study identifies Notch signaling in hypothalamic oligodendrocytes as a regulator of systemic energy balance, showing that inhibiting Notch ligands leads to weight loss and metabolic changes.

This study investigates the distinct roles of NaV1.2 and NaV1.6 in neocortical pyramidal cell excitability using inhibitors and genetic modifications to selectively block each isoform.

The paper analyzes single-nucleus RNA-seq data from human spinal cord neurons, identifies motor neurons as rare, and highlights discrepancies with a prior study due to potential misclassification of cholinergic debris.

This study identifies Tmc3-expressing vagal ganglion neurons that regulate broncho-constriction and dilation, impacting respiratory function and offering potential therapeutic targets for respiratory diseases.

The paper creates a cross-species transcriptomic atlas of dorsal root ganglia to identify conserved and species-specific gene expression programs related to sensory function.
