This study investigates a rodent model with an OGT-ID variant, revealing neurodevelopmental defects and behavioural abnormalities linked to O-GlcNAc dyshomeostasis.

The paper develops ChromTRAP to identify recently activated neuronal ensembles and reveals brain-region- and cell-type-specific regulatory programs during learning.

This study induces alpha-Synuclein aggregation in the gigantocellular nuclei of transgenic mice to model prodromal Parkinson's disease and observe motor symptom progression.

The paper shows that non-Hebbian plasticity can convert transient experiences into lasting memories through synaptic manipulations outside the time of initial learning.

This study demonstrates that self-complementary AAV1 with a strong promoter can enable recombinase-independent anterograde transsynaptic labeling in neural circuits.

The paper shows that the thalamic-basolateral amygdala pathway processes innate and learned threats differently, with distinct neural activity patterns and response mechanisms.

This study shows SorCS2 deficiency worsens Huntington's disease in mice by disrupting BDNF signaling and NMDA receptor function in striatal neurons.

The paper develops new DREADD agonists and a PET radiotracer for improved neuronal activity manipulation and noninvasive projection mapping in neurotheranostics.
