| Researchers demonstrated that the sustained antidepressant-like behavioral effects of (2S,6S)-hydroxynorketamine in repeatedly stressed animal models involved neurobiological changes in the anterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus. [Neuron] |

|
| Scientists investigated the mechanism of anti-CD33 antibody HuM195 and its single-chain variable fragment and examined their therapeutic potential. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that that trisomy manifested as a highly specific modification of the transcriptome within distinct cell types. They observed a significant shift in the transcriptomic profile of granule cells in the dentate gyrus associated with trisomy. [Molecular Psychiatry] |
|
|
|
| Scientists combined single-cell transcriptomics of dissected brain regions with massively parallel lineage tracing and in vivo RNA metabolic labeling to analyze the regulation of neural stem cells in space and time. [Molecular Systems Biology] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that conditional disruption of ubiquitin-associated protein 1 (UBAP1), a component of endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT), caused severe brain dysplasia and prenatal ventriculomegaly. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators utilized a combination of multi-omics data, to identify RFX4 as an upstream regulator of proneural genes. They further validated the role of RFX4 using an in vitro model of neuronal differentiation with RFX4 knock-in and a CRISPR-Cas9 knock-out system. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] |

|
| Scientists used two-photon dendritic calcium imaging and whole-cell electrophysiology to evaluate the role of L-type calcium channels in tonic and phasic dendritic calcium signals in pedunculopontine nucleus and substantia nigra pars compacta neurons. [European Journal of Neuroscience] |

|
| Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (post-)transcriptional regulation is likely a mechanism by which radial glia, astrocytes, and glioma cells can modulate cellular function. [Current Opinion in Cell Biology] |

|
| The first person to receive a brain-monitoring device from Neuralink can control a computer cursor with their min. However, researchers say that this is not a major feat — and they are concerned about the secrecy around the device’s safety and performance. [Nature] |
