TL;DR: A first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of juvenile rat is presented, finding a spectrum of network states with a sharp transition from synchronous to asynchronous activity, modulated by physiological mechanisms.

TL;DR: Anti-hyperglycemic and anti-obesity effects of CIN are confirmed opening a new approach to investigate how certain spice derived compounds regulate endogenous ghrelin release for therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: The objective classification of PCs can be achieved with methods from algebraic topology, and the dendritic arborization is sufficient for the reliable identification of distinct types of cortical PCs, and helps settle the long-standing debate on whether cell-types are discrete or continuous morphological variations of each other.

TL;DR: The data suggests that some of these AIS can modulate glutamatergic neurons in the brain through a TRP-independent pathway, regardless of whether the neurons are stimulated intracellularly or by hyperactive microcircuitry.

TL;DR: It is found that predictable environmental enrichment prevented the development of hyper-emotionality in the VPA-exposed group, while unpredictable enrichment did not, and it is demonstrated that unpredictable environments can lead to negative outcomes, even in the presence of environmental enrichment.
