    The orphan receptor GPR88 blunts the signaling of opioid receptors and multiple striatal GPCRs

    Thibaut Laboute, Jorge Gandía ... Jérôme AJ Becker
    GPR88 inhibits G-protein signaling of nearby GPCRs, and dampens b-arrestin recruitment by all GPCRs tested, likely by sequestration in intracellular compartments.

    α1-Adrenergic receptor–PKC–Pyk2–Src signaling boosts L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 activity and long-term potentiation in rodents

    Kwun Nok Mimi Man, Peter Bartels ... Johannes W Hell
    The α1-adrenergic receptor augments the activity of the L-type Ca2+ channel CaV1.2 through PKC and the tyrosine kinases Pyk2 and Src and thereby synaptic plasticity.

    Active presynaptic ribosomes in the mammalian brain, and altered transmitter release after protein synthesis inhibition

    Matthew S Scarnati, Rahul Kataria ... Kenneth G Paradiso
    Local presynaptic protein synthesis occurring at established nerve terminals in the mammalian brain provides a mechanism for rapidly controlling or restoring presynaptic proteins that affect neurotransmitter release and presynaptic efficiency.

    Suppression and facilitation of human neural responses

    Michael-Paul Schallmo, Alexander M Kale ... Scott O Murray
    Spatial suppression during motion perception reflects reduced neural response magnitudes in visual areas but is not primarily driven by neural inhibition.

    First quantitative high-throughput screen in zebrafish identifies novel pathways for increasing pancreatic β-cell mass

    Guangliang Wang, Surendra K Rajpurohit ... Jeff S Mumm
    A novel high-throughput, whole organism chemical screening platform was used to identify existing drugs that increase pancreatic beta-cell mass in zebrafish, implicating unique roles for the NF-κB and serotonergic signaling pathways in regulating pancreatic biology.

    Chronic activation of a negative engram induces behavioral and cellular abnormalities

    Alexandra L Jellinger, Rebecca L Suthard ... Steve Ramirez
    Repeatedly activating negative memory-bearing cells produces cellular and behavioral abnormalities.

    Exploring therapeutic strategies for infantile neuronal axonal dystrophy (INAD/PARK14)

    Guang Lin, Burak Tepe ... Hugo J Bellen
    Endolysosmal trafficking defects, expansion of lysosomes, elevation of ceramides, and disruption of mitochondria are root causes of INAD/PARK14.

    Cell non-autonomous regulation of health and longevity

    Hillary A Miller, Elizabeth S Dean ... Scott F Leiser
    Modulation of the aging process through cell signaling represents a recent and exciting area of study with the potential for development of therapeutics to extend human health.

    Ketamine induces multiple individually distinct whole-brain functional connectivity signatures

    Flora Moujaes, Jie Lisa Ji ... Alan Anticevic
    There is substantial individual variation in behavioral and neural responses to acute ketamine administration in healthy controls, which emphasises the need for personalized approaches when harnessing ketamine as a treatment for depression.

    Environmental stimuli shape microglial plasticity in glioma

    Stefano Garofalo, Alessandra Porzia ... Cristina Limatola
    The microenvironment of brain tumors can be modulated by in vivo conditions that change the brain levels of BDNF and IL-15, with effects on innate immune cell activation.
