This study examines nanoscale changes in synaptic proteins in human temporal lobe epilepsy, finding increased AMPA receptor density and altered calcium channel organization in specific synapse types.

The paper identifies a female-selective corticosterone-mediated microglia-neuron interaction during ketamine anesthesia recovery that drives neuronal plasticity.

The paper shows that microglia in retinal organoids influence inflammation and enhance ibuprofen's protective effects against immune challenges during embryonic development.

This study investigates the neural and somatic responses to 60 Hz flickering light stimulation over 3 weeks in healthy volunteers, finding strong initial neural entrainment that declined over time.

The paper introduces MorphOMICs, a topological data analysis method to identify sex- and region-dependent microglial morphological phenotypes across development and neurodegeneration.

This study examines mitochondrial network adaptations in microglia under injury and UCP2 knockout, revealing sex-specific differences in stress response.

The paper introduces CATS, a method to map brain tissue architecture across scales, demonstrating its application to hippocampal mossy fiber circuitry.

The paper introduces DREADD-based GPCR chimeras to study cell type-specific signaling and microglia responses without endogenous ligands.

The paper identifies microglia-like cells forming in retinal organoids and characterizes their protein composition and localization.
