The paper examines postnatal maturation of pyramidal neurons in the gustatory cortex, finding dynamic changes in excitability and an increasing inhibitory drive mediated by parvalbumin neurons.

This paper shows that glycated amyloid-beta causes mitochondrial dysfunction and Alzheimer's pathology by triggering the cGAS-STING pathway via VDAC1-dependent mtDNA release.

The paper shows that early taste experience in mice affects adult sucrose preference through changes in insular cortex circuitry and inhibitory plasticity.

The paper identifies the insula-central amygdala circuit's role in avoidance behavior by showing its necessity and sufficiency for learning anticipatory avoidance of unpleasant tastants.

The paper identifies a specific class of central amygdala neurons that are essential for synaptic plasticity in the lateral amygdala during learning.
