The paper identifies an extra-SCN brain oscillator in the lateral amygdala that coordinates cellular and behavioral rhythms through mWAKE/ANKFN1 expression.

The paper shows that presenting positive words during NREM sleep can reduce negative affect judgments of unwanted memories, associated with changes in theta and sigma brain activity.

This study identifies a conserved clock-regulated neural network in mice and Drosophila that controls arousal and sleep, showing that mWake+ cells are critical for circadian-dependent neural excitability.

This study shows that DCF1 deletion in mice causes neuronal migration delay, axonal swelling, and ASD-like behaviors through ERK signaling dysregulation.
