    Similar excitability through different sodium channels and implications for the analgesic efficacy of selective drugs

    Yu-Feng Xie, Jane Yang ... Steven A Prescott
    Because nociceptors can achieve similar excitability using different sodium channel subtypes, it is difficult to know which channels are being used yet this information is critical for predicting if subtype-selective drugs will reduce pain.

    Aberrant cortical activity, functional connectivity, and neural assembly architecture after photothrombotic stroke in mice

    Mischa Vance Bandet, Ian Robert Winship
    Longitudinal calcium imaging in awake mice after stroke suggests impairments in neuronal activity, functional connectivity, and neural assembly architecture is transient and limited to cortex immediately adjacent to the stroke.

    Conditional chemoconnectomics (cCCTomics) as a strategy for efficient and conditional targeting of chemical transmission

    Renbo Mao, Jianjun Yu ... Yi Rao
    New toolkits have been developed to enable cell-type-specific manipulation of CCT genes with remarkable efficiency while also uncovering the role of CNMa signal in regulating morning anticipation.
