Open DOI
Beyond heartbeats: re-thinking interoception in autism through virtual reality and computational modelling
Interoception, the sensing and interpretation of internal bodily signals, is increasingly invoked to explain heterogeneity in autism, yet empirical findings remain inconsistent. A major reason is methodological: the field remains cardio-...

Open DOI
TrkC-dependent regulation of dendritic branching shapes dendritic bundle architecture in the rat granular retrosplenial cortex
Cortical modules are thought to provide anatomical frameworks for local microcircuits. However, the mechanisms regulating the morphological organization of these modules during development remain poorly understood. In the rat granular re...

Open DOI
Neuromuscular junction formation by compartmentalized culture using human iPS cell-derived motor neurons and skeletal muscle cells
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse that connects the nerve terminal of a motor neuron to a skeletal muscle fiber. The mechanisms underlying NMJ formation have been elucidated primarily through studies in animal models. However...

Open DOI
Pathological neural and immune synapses in glioblastoma progression: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities
Glioblastoma (GBM), a high-grade glioma, is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, with a dismal prognosis and a very high recurrence rate. Major challenges to effective treatment arise from the tumor’s locally aggressive, diffus...

Open DOI
Reversal of repetitive TMS-induced LTP-like plasticity by a novel compound in rats
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) modulates cortical plasticity in a frequency-dependent manner, resulting in predictable and lasting augmentation or attenuation of corticospinal excitability. These rTMS effects on syna...

DOI 10.3389/fncir.2026.1854977
Open DOI
Molecularly diverse glycinergic interneurons in the medial deep dorsal horn are interposed between primary sensory afferents and spinal Shox2 interneurons
Appropriate transmission of sensory afferent input from the peripheral nervous system to spinal locomotor circuits is crucial for efficient and adaptive locomotion. This is partly mediated by spinal interneurons (INs) that regulate affer...

Open DOI
Paraventricular thalamic neurons respond to vagus nerve activation and modulate anxious behavior
Interoceptive signals reflecting internal bodily states influence emotional processing. The paraventricular thalamus (PVT) constitutes a key node within the interoceptive network, monitoring circulating humoral factors in the ventricles,...

Open DOI
New mechanistic insight into SARM1 activation: TRIM32-mediated ubiquitination is a key lever that actuates SARM1’s catalytic action, leading to axon degeneration and cell death
Sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1) is an enzyme that cleaves nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) and plays a role in disrupting neural circuits through axon degeneration and cell death. SARM1 is activated by ...

Open DOI
Attentional modulation of multisensory integration across the cortical hierarchy
In a multisensory environment, attention prioritizes behaviorally relevant sensory inputs not through a single mechanism but by modulating neural activity across the cortical hierarchy. Yet most studies focus on attentional modulation of...

Open DOI
α5-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors regulate state transitions in cortical networks and modulate susceptibility to epileptiform discharges
Spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) of absence seizures and slowly oscillating Up-Down states of non-REM sleep and are both manifestations of large-scale synchronized cortical activity, yet the circuit mechanisms differentiating these pheno...
