This paper identifies a claustrum-ACC circuit that modulates stress responses, showing distinct roles of Egr2 and Gad2 neurons in acute and chronic stress states.

This study identifies Ca2+ oscillations in vascular smooth muscle cells as critical for myogenic vasomotion and shows that restoring mitochondrial-ER contacts can improve reperfusion after ischemic stroke.

The paper identifies Netrin4 as a factor essential for adult sympathetic neuron survival, showing it promotes protein synthesis and prevents necroptosis in specific neurons.
