Mice with impaired synaptic facilitation exhibit deficits in cognitive flexibility

This study shows that mice lacking Synaptotagmin-7, which is required for synaptic facilitation, have impaired cognitive flexibility in dynamic reward tasks but not in stable ones.

Biased synaptic activation of dentate granule cells by exercise reflects inputs from the lateral entorhinal cortex.

The paper shows that exercise preferentially activates dentate granule cells via inputs from the lateral entorhinal cortex, not through dendritic molecular changes.

Single cell proteomics characterization of bone marrow hematopoiesis with distinct Ras pathway lesions.

The paper uses single-cell proteomics and metabolomics to study how Ras pathway mutations affect hematopoiesis, finding distinct impacts on HSC compartments and metabolism.

Inhibitory CCK+ basket synapse defects in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy

This study examines inhibitory synapse defects and seizure susceptibility in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy, showing that severe forms exhibit impaired CCK+/CB1R+ interneuron development and synaptic function.
