Quantifying and modelling non-local information processing of associative brain regions

The paper simulates non-local information processing in associative brain regions using holographic wave patterns and compares results with electrophysiology and EEG data.

Transcriptional networks predating cognition-associated pyramidal lineages are restructured by erythropoietin

This study uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to show that erythropoietin treatment restructures transcriptional networks in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, increasing their numbers and altering gene expression related to neurodifferentiation and cognition.

De novo missense variants in SLC32A1 cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with epilepsy due to impaired GABAergic neurotransmission

This study identifies de novo missense variants in SLC32A1 as a cause of a neurodevelopmental disorder with epilepsy, showing they impair GABAergic neurotransmission through two mechanisms.

Modelling non-local neural information processing in the brain

A neural model of non-local information processing on a neocolumnar architecture replicates electrophysiological data from primates, showing high-frequency activity during visual perception.

Molecular and functional architecture of striatal dopamine release sites

The paper identifies key proteins and domains involved in dopamine release in the striatum, showing that RIM, Munc13, and Liprin- are essential while other active zone proteins are not.

Synaptotagmin-7 places dense-core vesicles at the cell membrane to promote Munc13-2- and Ca2+-dependent priming

This study investigates the roles of synaptotagmin-1 and synaptotagmin-7 in Ca2+-dependent vesicle priming and exocytosis in mouse chromaffin cells, showing their synergistic effects.

Mammalian vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT1 reduces synaptic vesicle superpool size and spontaneous release frequency.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which VGLUT1 increases synaptic vesicle clustering, reducing superpool size and spontaneous release frequency through interactions with endophilinA1 and intersectin1.

Physiological and pathophysiological homeostasis of astroglial channel proteins by Nedd4-2

The paper identifies Kir4.1 and Connexin43 as Nedd4-2 substrates, showing their regulation impacts astrocytic function and neuronal network activity.
