Paradoxically, mutations that enhance GABAA receptor function cause severe epilepsy. Using a mouse model of a human gain-of-function GABAA receptor mutatio

Theta oscillations (4-12 Hz) in the hippocampus, driven by synchronous neuronal bursts, are essential for grouping and selecting neuronal ensembles during spatial navigation, memory, and learning 1,2....

Yan et al. report the identification of a population of muscle spindle macrophages, which regulate the muscle stretch reflex through glutamate production.

A population of macrophages has been found in muscle spindles that release glutamate, activate primary sensory afferents that are part of the stretch reflex, and have a role in regulating locomotion.

A population of macrophages with exclusive molecular and functional signatures in the muscle spindles express machinery for synthesizing and releasing glutamate, and a cellular component, the muscle s...

A study in mice shows that learning induces c-Fos expression in a subset of astrocytes in the hippocampus, and that ensembles of these learning-associated astrocytes are involved in the recall of memo...
