The paper identifies early molecular, structural, and functional changes in sensory neurons in the SOD1G93A mouse model of ALS, suggesting sensory neuron hyperexcitability as a potential therapeutic target.

The paper shows that thalamic microglia engulfing synapses, driven by CD9 and FcγRIII signals, cause cognitive impairment after cortical injury.

This study examines CST reorganization in macaques after partial spinal cord injury, showing axonal sprouting and re-direction in both rostral and caudal spinal segments contributing to recovery of finger dexterity.

This study identifies de novo CBX1 variants in three individuals with neurodevelopmental features and shows they cause dominant-negative effects by disrupting HP1β chromatin binding.
