Three-dimensional imaging and automated, brain-wide cell counting yield new insight into the diversity of neurons that connect the brain to the spinal cord and their different sensitivity to spinal cord damage.
Excitation of contralesional cortex after stroke suppresses the expression of genes related to plastic neuronal reintegration and accordingly modulates perilesional remodeling and functional network communication at local and global scales.

Sleep's role to down-scale glutamate, excitatory, frontal cortical synapses is extended to include an up-scaling of metaplastic LTP potential, in recovery from prolonged waking induced saturation of this LTP potential.
Electrophysiological recordings in awake behaving monkeys show the first evidence of the effect of continuous theta-burst stimulation, a widely used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol, at the level of single neurons.

Delayed intramuscular gene therapy with neurotrophin-3 after corticospinal tract injury reduces spasticity and improves locomotion by treating underlying causes of spasticity.
Mesoscopic properties of motor-microtubule assemblies, such as contractile rates and length scales, can be quantitatively connected to single-motor properties of kinesin motors.
NBI-921352 (formerly XEN901) is a precision medicine in development for individuals with SCN8A gain-of-function mutations causing SCN8A related epilepsy syndrome (SCN8A-RES), as well as other epilepsy indications, include adult focal onset seizures (FOS).
