This study investigates how opioid receptors modulate glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission in the medial habenula/interpeduncular nucleus circuit, revealing complex developmental regulation and interactions with potassium channels.

The paper shows that eGlyRs in hippocampal interneurons regulate network activity through developmental and evolutionary conserved mechanisms.

The paper identifies a novel inhibitory interneuron subtype in the dentate gyrus that selectively regulates mossy cell function and shows this pattern is evolutionarily conserved across species.

The paper identifies enhancer-AAV tools for specific neuronal subtypes and validates them across species.

The paper shows that opioids suppress inhibition in hippocampal PV-INs but not neocortex across species and development, highlighting conserved and divergent roles in neural circuits.

The paper shows that neurogliaform cells in mouse and human exhibit similar activity-dependent changes in intrinsic excitability, suggesting conserved circuit mechanisms across species.
