X chromosome factor Kdm6a enhances memory independent of its demethylase function in the aging XY male brain
Cayce K. Shaw, Samira Abdulai-Saiku, Francesca Marino…·Dena B. Dubal
The paper shows that increasing Kdm6a in aging male mice improves memory without needing its demethylase function.

Task-specific modulation of corticospinal neuron activity during skilled motor learning
Najet Serradj, Francesca Marino, Yunuen Moreno-López…·Edmund R Hollis II
This study investigates how corticospinal neuron activity changes during skilled versus unskilled motor learning and shows that patterned network activity is essential for skilled movement execution.
