This study shows that Purkinje cell intrinsic activity before synaptic maturation is critical for dendrite growth, connectivity, and cerebellar function, with early disruptions causing severe morphological and functional defects.

This study shows that ventral striatal astrocytes influence reinforcement learning by modulating decision noisiness and reward-guided choice through calcium dynamics.

This study shows ketamine rescues stress-induced anhedonia in mice by cell-type-specific adaptations and input-specific synaptic changes in the nucleus accumbens.
