This study shows that astrocytes in the dentate gyrus influence memory processes by shifting the balance between pattern separation and pattern completion, and affect fear extinction.

This study uses opto-miniRaf to show ERK signaling acutely modulates neuronal activity across multiple scales in cultured neurons and intact brains.

The paper identifies UDP-P2Y6 signaling as a key driver of microglial calcium activity, phagocytosis, and neuroinflammation during epileptogenesis.

This study shows that calcium signaling in oligodendrocytes is critical for shaping myelin sheath morphology during myelination in the developing mouse CNS.

The paper shows that astrocyte Ca2+ signaling amplifies sustained functional hyperemia in awake mice, but not brief responses, through distinct mechanisms.
