This paper introduces an in vitro model of embryonic mouse hindbrain explants that enables longitudinal, multimodal analysis of olivo-cerebellar circuit development at single-cell resolution.

This study identifies two distinct astrocyte subtypes in the hippocampus that selectively regulate inhibitory synapses in specific domains through functional and transcriptional differences.

This study shows that MRI R2* changes reflect inflammation in disconnected brain regions after stroke, both in humans and mice, linking disconnection to iron accumulation and microglial activation.
