The paper identifies stressor-selective sympathetic preganglionic modules in mice that link physiological demands to organ-biased sympathetic output.

This study creates a transcriptomic atlas of the Syrian hamster preoptic area using snRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, comparing seasonal and hibernation states.

The paper investigates how VPA exposure and OT neuron stimulation affect microglia in the PVH and finds that OT neuron activation can reverse some microglial gene downregulation.

The paper identifies two molecularly distinct subtypes of sympathetic preganglionic neurons in mice that selectively regulate gastrointestinal and adrenal functions through non-overlapping innervation patterns.

The paper shows that social dysfunction in mice is linked to selective gene expression impairment in parvocellular oxytocin neurons, which can be mitigated by neonatal chemogenetic stimulation.
