Mitochondria are energy- and metabolite-producing organelles that are differentially distributed throughout neuronal axons and dendrites to meet unique energy demands. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondria in dendrites can be molecu...

Sleep is widespread across animal species, yet its functions remain enigmatic. In a recent study, Aguillon, Harduf et al. characterize sleep in two of the simplest neuron-bearing animals to reveal that DNA, damaged while awake, is repaired ...
Splicing, RNA editing, and auxiliary subunits shaped AMPA receptor function through coordinated evolution [0.03%]
通过协调进化,剪接、RNA编辑和辅助亚基塑造了AMPA受体的功能

Post-transcriptional regulation of AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs) emerged in early vertebrates alongside a major expansion of AMPAR auxiliary subunits. Recent work shows that two key modifications-alternative splicing of ...

Nuclear speckles, traditionally considered mainly as reservoirs of splicing factors, are increasingly recognized as dynamic biomolecular condensates essential for RNA metabolism, transcriptional regulation, and chromatin organization. Recen...
A dual-function framework of interoception: the information and coordination modes of interoceptive signaling [0.03%]

Interoceptive signals inform the brain about physiological parameters, supporting bodily regulation-a process we refer to as the information mode of interoceptive signaling. Based on evidence in cardiac, respiratory, and gastric interocepti...
Phagocytosis and neuroinflammation: orchestrating central nervous system homeostasis, repair, and the resolution of inflammation [0.03%]

The ingestion of foreign material-phagocytosis-is a fundamental feature shared across phyla, from single-celled ameba to more complex mammalian cells. Phagocytosis is a crucial process for maintaining homeostasis in body systems, including ...
Challenges and opportunities in adapting high-throughput functional assays for in vivo neuroscience [0.03%]

Myelin is traditionally viewed as a passive determinant of conduction velocity, yet emerging work suggests a critical role in shaping the precision of spike propagation. In a recent study, Jamann et al. show that myelination enables burst p...
CHCHD2 links mitochondrial dysfunction and α-synuclein misfolding in Parkinson's disease [0.03%]
CHCHD2基因通过线粒体功能障碍和α-突触核蛋白错误折叠与帕金森病相关联

In a recent study, Darmohray et al. identified a brainstem pathway underlying sickness-induced sleep in mice. The authors demonstrated that immune-activated circuits in the nucleus of the solitary tract suppress wake-promoting norepinephrin...
