DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2019.01.018
Abstract: Summary We identified ∼30-mer amyloid-β protein (Aβ) assemblies, termed amylospheroids, from brains of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) as toxic entities responsible for neurodegeneration and showed that Na+,K+-ATPase α3 (NAKα3) is the sole target of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2020.12.041
Abstract: Antipsychotics are known to modulate dopamine and other neurotransmitters which is often thought to be the mechanism underlying their therapeutic effects. Nevertheless, other less studied consequences of antipsychotics on neuronal function may contribute to their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-06512-7
Abstract: Selective disruption of synaptic drive to inhibitory neurons could contribute to the pathophysiology of various brain disorders. We have previously identified a GluN2A-selective positive allosteric modulator, GNE-8324, that selectively enhances N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated synaptic responses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-14952-3
Abstract: von Economo neurons (VENs) are bipolar, spindle-shaped neurons restricted to layer 5 of human frontoinsula and anterior cingulate cortex that appear to be selectively vulnerable to neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, although little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-58763-w
Abstract: Neurons in the neocortex exhibit astonishing morphological diversity which is critical for properly wiring neural circuits and giving neurons their functional properties. However, the organizational principles underlying this morphological diversity remain an open question. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41593-018-0298-7
Abstract: Excitatory neurons are preferentially impaired in early Alzheimer’s disease but the pathways contributing to their relative vulnerability remain largely unknown. Here we report that pathological tau accumulation takes place predominantly in excitatory neurons compared to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41593-024-01588-5
Abstract: The interplay between excitation and inhibition determines the fidelity of cortical representations. The receptive fields of excitatory neurons are often finely tuned to encoded features, but the principles governing the tuning of inhibitory neurons remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0099-2
Abstract: Mutations in the SCN2A gene encoding a voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.2 are associated with epilepsies, intellectual disability, and autism. SCN2A gain-of-function mutations cause early-onset severe epilepsies, while loss-of-function mutations cause autism with milder and/or later-onset… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01215-6
Abstract: Whilst the brain is assumed to exert homeostatic functions to keep the cellular energy status constant under physiological conditions, this has not been experimentally proven. Here, we conducted in vivo optical recordings of intracellular concentration… read more here.
