A semi-automated system for monitoring egg-laying reveals that lateral dorsal neurons are key regulators of circadian oviposition, showing that the neural circuits controlling oviposition and circadian locomotor behavior are different.
Addictive drugs, as well as ketamine/xylazine, change the connectivity to ventral tegmental area dopamine cells, which may be related to cellular activity.
Exposure of human cortical interneurons to hypoxia leads to decreased migration, a process that is likely altered in preterm infants and contributes to the increased risk for neurodevelopmental problems.
