Lack of aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands in the diet of mice increases the inflammatory state in their epidermis, making cutaneous allergic reactions more severe and airway allergy more pronounced after skin sensitization.

Stk11 and Fos expression plays an important role in CTA long-term memory formation by modulating the intrinsic excitability of BLApn.

Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis triggers de novo synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids by host macrophages, which promote their antimicrobial responses but feed the intracellular pathogen.

A distinct neural network, including the nucleus accumbens as a central hub, is active when rats are exposed to trapped ingroup members they had previously helped escape a trap, but not for outgroup members who had not been helped.

Embryonic birthdate is a crucial determinant of heterogeneity among CA1 principal neurons, which include a previously overlooked subpopulation of pioneer neurons.

Brain-wide activation patterns reveal the distinct and shared neurophysiological impacts of ketamine and isoflurane, highlighting key nuclei involved in the modulation of general anesthesia.

Endothelial tightening by augmenting low level Wnt/β-catenin activity in vessels of the mouse subfornical organ, influences neuronal activation in water-deprived mice, linking endothelial barrier properties to neuro-vascular coupling.

Fear memory intensity modulates brain connectivity patterns, with stronger memories causing a pronounced reduction in interregional coordinated activity and isolation of the amygdala from other key regions.

Modifying membrane potential by an 'inhibitory' chloride conductance such as PSAM⁴-GlyR is inherently unstable because the normally low intracellular concentration of chloride is readily increased by influx of chloride.

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is required for the expression of defensive behavior to uncertain threats, a function that is central to pathological anxiety.
