The paper examines how sensory input interacts with sleep regulation in three genetically distinct neurodevelopmental disorder models and identifies impaired sensory-sleep integration as a shared phenotype.

This study identifies monoamine-targeting compounds that rescue neurexin-related behavioral phenotypes in C. elegans and Drosophila, with olanzapine showing broad efficacy across genetic backgrounds.

This study shows that enhancing KCC2 activity normalizes reflex responses and improves locomotor function in chronic spinal cord injury rats.

This study shows that increasing KCC2 activity pharmacologically reduces spasticity and hyperreflexia after chronic SCI, similar to the effects of exercise.

This study shows that chronic spinal cord injury reduces presynaptic inhibition via PBSt afferents, but step-training restores it through activity-dependent plasticity in decerebrated rats.
