This study shows that chronic stress disrupts microglial-vascular interactions via AT1R signaling and microglia activation, leading to vascular dysfunction and depression-like behaviors in mice.

The paper investigates regional adaptations in dendritic signal processing of sustained ON alpha retinal ganglion cells in the mouse retina, finding differences in signal integration between nasal and temporal regions that may aid in prey detection.

This study investigates how voltage-gated sodium channels shape the light responses of mouse retinal ganglion cells, showing that specific channel properties determine contrast selectivity and response transience.

The paper introduces a spline-based method for estimating neural receptive fields, showing improved performance over non-spline methods in both simulated and experimental data.

The paper investigates motion sensing in mouse retinal bipolar cells, finding that some possess motion-sensitive receptive fields and transmit direction-specific signals to downstream neurons.

The paper investigates neural circuits in the mouse retina and finds that color-opponent cells are predominantly located in the ventral retina, supporting color vision in the upper visual field.

This study shows how four types of mouse retinal ganglion cells use different dendritic integration rules, influenced by both morphology and ion channel distribution.
