   Structure and function of axo-axonic inhibition

   Casey M Schneider-Mizell et al.

   Electron microcopy-based connectomics, in vivo functional imaging, and biophysical modeling reveal that mouse visual cortex chandelier cells, a type of GABAergic interneuron, are driven by arousal and distribute their synapses according to the individual properties of target cells.

   Strong confinement of active microalgae leads to inversion of vortex flow and enhanced mixing

   Debasmita Mondal et al.

   Coupling between cell motility and strong confinement alters the force generators that cause flow fields to change their handedness and lead to enhanced mixing.

    Neurotoxin-mediated potent activation of the axon degeneration regulator SARM1

    Andrea Loreto et al.

    The identification of the mechanism of action of vacor, an environmental neurotoxin which causes neurodegeneration by activating the pro-degenerative enzyme SARM1, raises important questions on SARM1 as a mediator of environmental neurotoxicity and has implications for drug discovery.
