Parameter tuning differentiates granule cell subtypes enriching the repertoire of retransmission properties at the cerebellum input stage

The paper identifies diverse firing patterns in cerebellar granule cells through computational modeling and electrophysiological experiments, showing how parameter tuning influences synaptic transmission properties.

Deletion of calcineurin from GFAP-expressing astrocytes impairs excitability of cerebellar and hippocampal neurons through astroglial Na+/K+ ATPase.

This study shows that deleting calcineurin in astrocytes impairs neuronal excitability in the cerebellum and hippocampus by reducing Na+/K+-ATPase activity.
