This study introduces connexin-36 in mouse hypothalamic neurons to create electrical synapses, showing increased connectivity but limited physiological impact.

This study investigates the postnatal maturation of TIDA neurons in mice, showing that while individual cell properties change, network stability and Prl levels increase.

The paper identifies L6bCtgf neurons in the cortex and shows they form specific connections, are electrically diverse, and are active during task engagement, with paradoxical silencing during somatosensory exploration.

The paper links mTOR-related synaptic pathology to functional hyperconnectivity in autism using mouse models and human fMRI data.
