The paper identifies nanoscale synaptic remodeling at corticostriatal circuits that predicts flexible action control and shows its absence in aging and rigidity.

The paper examines changes in serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus of a Parkinson's disease mouse model following 6-OHDA injection.

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

This study shows that EAAT2 plasticity in striatal astrocytes affects behavioral flexibility, with overtraining leading to EAAT2 upregulation and impaired flexibility.

This study shows that enhancing ERK2 signalling protects neurons and improves memory in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases.

This study investigates how serotonin deficiency affects hippocampal neuroplasticity and emotional behavior in mice, revealing a buffering role of serotonin in adaptive responses to environmental stress.

This study uses chemogenetic-fMRI to identify brain regions activated by serotonergic stimulation, showing region-specific effects rather than global activity changes.
