Spatially resolved molecular sex differences at single-cell resolution in the adult human ventromedial and arcuate hypothalamus The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) and arcuate (ARC) nuclei of the hypothalamus play critical roles in regulating metabolism and behavior. Here, Mulvey et al. create a focused spatial transcriptomic ...

We could all use some extra stress #resilience rn. But how does it work in the brain? On the surface, resilience looks like ignoring stress. Does the brain fail to respond? Or are active adaptations required? Or are resilience and susceptibility divergent paths? doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2025.116867

Maturation of hippocampus-medial prefrontal cortex projections defines a pathway-specific sensitive period for cognitive flexibility Cruz-Sanchez et al. show that the maturation trajectory of ventral and intermediate hippocampus-medial prefrontal cortex connectivity displays distinct anatomical and synaptic developmental signatures...

Happy to share the latest from our lab published @cp-cellreports.bsky.social, where we delineated the synaptic maturation trajectory for vCA1 and iCA1 projections to mPFC, and pathway-specific effects of vCA1- and iCA1-mPFC juvenile inhibition on cognitive flexibility
