The paper uses stereo-tracking to study Purkinje cell development and identifies a new subcellular structure called axon bubbles.

The paper examines region-specific changes in perineuronal net expression in postmortem autism brain tissue, finding reduced PNN density around parvalbumin neurons in the globus pallidus.

The paper identifies a parvalbumin-positive subtype of Purkinje neurons with distinct firing properties and shows that ion channel differences contribute to firing diversity.

This study investigates the role of cadherin-11 in autism by analyzing its expression and function in mouse models and human tissue, finding altered expression and synaptic changes in autism-associated conditions.
