    Cellular evolution of the hypothalamic preoptic area of behaviorally divergent deer mice

    Jenny Chen, Phoebe R Richardson ... Hopi E Hoekstra
    Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamic preoptic area of monogamous and promiscuous deer mouse species reveals neuronal differences that may be responsible for innate changes in mating and parental care behavior.

    Preclinical systematic review of CCR5 antagonists as cerebroprotective and stroke recovery enhancing agents

    Ayni Sharif, Matthew S Jeffers ... Manoj M Lalu
    CCR5 antagonists show promise for stroke cerebroprotection and recovery, although further preclinical evidence in clinically relevant domains could strengthen support for clinical translation.

    Annihilation of action potentials induces electrical coupling between neurons

    Moritz Schloetter, Georg U Maret, Christoph J Kleineidam
    Action potentials of neurons expel a charge when they reach the axon terminal, and classical electrodynamics predict the resulting electric fields and its influence to other neurons by ephaptic coupling.
