    Age-dependent H3K9 trimethylation by dSetdb1 impairs mitochondrial UPR leading to degeneration of olfactory neurons and loss of olfactory function in Drosophila

    Francisco Muñoz-Carvajal, Nicole Sanhueza ... Felipe A Court
    Age-related epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial stress responses drives neuronal degeneration and sensory decline, highlighting mitochondrial resilience as a potential target to preserve brain function during aging.

    Prolonged oscillating preoptic area kisspeptin neuron activity underlies the preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge in mice

    Ziyue Zhou, Cheng-Yu Huang, Allan Edward Herbison
    High levels of circulating estradiol enable the RP3V kisspeptin neuron population to exhibit long-lasting synchronized oscillatory behavior that drives GnRH neurons to initiate the LH surge.
