A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.

Cst7, a gene coding for protein cystatin F, is expressed by microglia in neurodegenerative disease models and mediates sex-dependent effects on microglial endolysosomal function and disease pathology.
Giant neuron derived vesicles called exophers are processed by phagocytosis in neighboring skin cells, and the phagocytic interaction promotes exopher production.
