    Astrocytes release prostaglandin E2 to modify respiratory network activity

    David Forsberg, Thomas Ringstedt, Eric Herlenius
    Astrocytes modulate neuronal networks during hypercapnia, introducing a novel gliotransmitter pathway where prostaglandin E2 regulates breathing.

    Optogenetic control of excitatory post-synaptic differentiation through neuroligin-1 tyrosine phosphorylation

    Mathieu Letellier, Matthieu Lagardère ... Olivier Thoumine
    Orthogonal to traditional paradigms that manipulate neuroligin expression level, optogenetic stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation highlights a role of the intracellular domain of endogenous neuroligin-1 in excitatory synaptic differentiation and potentiation.

    Distinct roles for extracellular and intracellular domains in neuroligin function at inhibitory synapses

    Quynh-Anh Nguyen, Meryl E Horn, Roger A Nicoll
    Electrophysiological recordings reveal domains within the extracellular and intracellular region of neuroligin important for specifying and carrying out its function at inhibitory synapses respectively.

    The fate of hippocampal synapses depends on the sequence of plasticity-inducing events

    J Simon Wiegert, Mauro Pulin ... Thomas G Oertner
    Non-invasive optogenetic induction of synaptic plasticity revealed that long-term potentiation and long-term depression alter the chances of a synapse to survive the next seven days.

    Alpha protocadherins and Pyk2 kinase regulate cortical neuron migration and cytoskeletal dynamics via Rac1 GTPase and WAVE complex in mice

    Li Fan, Yichao Lu ... Qiang Wu
    A general cytoplasmic signaling mechanism for the novel functions of diverse alpha protocadherins in cortical neuron migration and actin cytoskeletal dynamics as well as dendrite morphogenesis in the brain.

    Innate immune activation by checkpoint inhibition in human patient-derived lung cancer tissues

    Teresa WM Fan, Richard M Higashi ... Andrew N Lane
    Pembrolizumab activates innate immune metabolism and function in primary human non-small cell lung cancer, whereas Pembrolizumab and beta-glucan synergize in enhancing immune metabolism and tumoridical action in brain-metastasized lung cancer.

    A system of feed-forward cerebellar circuits that extend and diversify sensory signaling

    Harsh N Hariani, A Brynn Algstam ... Timothy S Balmer
    Unipolar brush cells subtypes, classified by their excitatory or inhibitory response to glutamate, form circuits with one another that may enhance the capacity of the cerebellum to transform input signals.

    p75NTR prevents the onset of cerebellar granule cell migration via RhoA activation

    Juan P Zanin, Wilma J Friedman
    The p75 neurotrophin receptor prevents the migration of the granule cell precursors away from its mitogenic niche in the external granule layer of the cerebellum, by maintaining a pool of undifferentiated cells capable of responding to mitogenic signals.

    Action potential-coupled Rho GTPase signaling drives presynaptic plasticity

    Shataakshi Dube O'Neil, Bence Rácz ... Scott H Soderling
    Proteomic and genetic analysis discovers a new cytoskeletal mechanism of presynaptic short-term plasticity common across neuronal cell types.

    mTOR signaling regulates the morphology and migration of outer radial glia in developing human cortex

    Madeline G Andrews, Lakshmi Subramanian, Arnold R Kriegstein
    mTOR signaling regulates the morphology of a human-enriched neural stem cell population and thus contributes to the radial architecture of the developing human cortex with implications for neurodevelopmental disease.
