The paper characterizes the light organ-associated nervous system (LONS) in juvenile Hawaiian bobtail squid, revealing its structural complexity and potential role in symbiotic interactions.

The paper identifies cytosolic calcium-dependent intrinsic apoptosis as a mechanism by which Vibrio fischeri induces developmental changes in the Hawaiian bobtail squid's light organ.

This study shows that estradiol treatment improves neurovascular coupling in mice regardless of their metabolic health, suggesting estrogen's benefits may not be limited by pre-existing metabolic conditions.

The paper identifies a non-canonical cortico-amygdala pathway from the dorsal peduncular prefrontal cortex to the central amygdala that regulates high-intensity defensive behaviors like flight.
