The paper shows that after active whisking starts in mice, layer IV neurons in the barrel cortex temporarily become more excitable, which depends on prior experience.

This study shows that monocular deprivation during the visual critical period reduces visual and homotopic connectivity while increasing internetwork connectivity between visual and parietal cortex in mice.

This study evaluates the role of AQP4 readthrough isoforms in gliovascular functions using a novel mouse model and finds that AQP4x modulates BBB integrity and protein localization.

This study examines functional connectivity changes in Mecp2 knockout mice, finding disrupted connectivity in males and subtle changes in females, suggesting sex-specific roles of MeCP2 in circuit development.
