This study shows that SKA2-regulated hyperactive secretory autophagy contributes to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.

This study investigates how PACAP and CRF, two stress peptides, affect sleep architecture in mice, finding distinct impacts on sleep stages and behavior.

The paper uses single nuclei RNA-sequencing to identify striatal cell types in humans and rhesus macaques and finds molecular changes linked to opioid use disorder.

This study identifies Ptgs2 as a stress-induced gene in specific prefrontal cortical neurons that mediates anxiety-like behaviors in mice.

The paper identifies Drd2-expressing neurons in the central amygdala as a novel fear-supporting population and validates pharmacological targets for fear extinction.
