Insights into the role astrocytes and microglia play in normal and diseased brain functioning
has expanded drastically over the last decade. Recently, chemogenetic tools have emerged …

The hippocampal CA3 contributes to spatial working memory (SWM), but which stage of
SWM the CA3 neurons act on and whether the lateralization of CA3 function occurs in SWM …

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common type of focal refractory epilepsy
and is characterized by recurring seizures that are often refractory to medication. Since …

Female, but not male, mice with haploinsufficiency for the proautophagic Ambra1 gene show
an autistic-like phenotype associated with hippocampal circuits dysfunctions which include …
