In recurrently connected cortical networks with different inhibitory neuron subtypes, circuit modulations can increase neuronal gain without compromising network stability.

Phosphoproteomics identifies diverse CaM kinase substrates, while genetic dissection reveals an unexpected antagonistic interaction with calcineurin signaling that operates in distinct neurons to regulate thermo-nociception in Caenorhabditis elegans.
To better understand how olfactory ensheathing cells modify spinal cord injury sites, single-cell RNA-sequencing was used to identify five OEC subtypes, progenitors, and novel genes associated with axonal outgrowth.
Novel genetically encoded tools PFE3, paGFE3, and chGFE3 can be used to reversibly ablate excitatory synapses constitutively, and inhibitory synapses in a light- or chemically dependent manner.

Place cells that show repeating place fields in geometrically similar locations of an environment modulate their firing rates differently in each field based on movement direction.
During aging, microglia progress through intermediate cellular states, including stress response and translation upregulation states, that modulate subsequent activation and impact cognitive decline.
