The paper develops murine and zebrafish Wac deletion models to study DeSanto-Shinawi Syndrome, finding craniofacial, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental phenotypes similar to the human condition.

The paper investigates how presynaptic GABAergic signaling modulates top-down synaptic inputs in neocortical layer 1, revealing distinct effects on different interneuron subtypes and pathways.

The paper investigates two distinct synaptic pathways from motor cortex to layer 5 neurons in somatosensory cortex, showing different short-term dynamics and functional consequences.

The paper investigates short-term facilitation in long-range corticocortical synapses using optogenetic methods in mice, finding enhanced excitability and distinct synaptic properties across cell types.
