This study shows that thyroid hormones are essential for maintaining the function of mature parvalbumin neurons in the mouse neocortex, affecting behavior, sleep, and neural oscillations.

This study identifies that pyramidal cell firing induces arteriolar vasoconstriction via COX-2-derived prostaglandin E2 signaling, revealing a previously overlooked mechanism in neurovascular coupling.

The paper shows that astrocyte calcium signals and the protein hevin mediate cocaine-induced reward and synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens.

This study shows that cortical somatostatin interneurons bidirectionally control neurovascular coupling through nitric oxide and neuropeptide Y release at different frequencies.

This study shows astrocyte aquaporin 4 mediates a tonic water efflux that maintains brain water homeostasis, astrocyte volume, and extracellular space remodeling.

The paper shows lactate enhances cortical neuron spiking activity through KATP channels and is preferentially used as an energy substrate over glucose.
