#JNeurosci: Findings from Levichkina et al. suggest that sleep may dynamically reorganize how the hippocampus interacts with internal organs rather than simply strengthening or suppressing these interactions.

#JNeurosci: Findings from Mousa et al provide a baseline for understanding how spinal cord networks are organized and how this organization may change following spinal injury or neurological disease.

New in #JNeurosci from Sebastian et al: In mice, neurons in the prelimbic cortex reorganize during deep sleep to strengthen resilience to social defeat stress.

New in #JNeurosci: Comparisons between macaque, chimpanzee, and human brains from Ruan et al. reveal which aspects of self-processing brain architecture are conserved across primates and which aspects have been reorganized during evolution.

#JNeurosci Review | When the Brain Grows Old Too Soon: Aging and Senescence as a Driver of MS Progression https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0308-26.2026

#JNeurosci: Curtis et al. show that a potentiating mutant of CaMKII, long thought to act by altering CaMKII activity, triggers tight binding to an actin-crosslinking protein. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0795-25.2025
