TL;DR: Spider venom peptide Hm1a restores the function of inhibitory interneurons from Dravet syndrome mice without affecting the firing of excitatory neurons, and provides a promising strategy for future drug development in genetic epilepsy and other neurogenetic disorders.

Immunohistochemical analysis of intracardiac ganglia of the rat heart.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate a moderate level of chemical diversity within the intracardiac neurons of the rat, which may reflect functional specialisation of neurons in the intrACardiac ganglia.

Differential requirement for beta-catenin in epithelial and fiber cells during lens development.

TL;DR: The data indicate that beta-catenin plays distinct functions during lens fiber differentiation and is involved in both Wnt signaling and adhesion-related mechanisms that regulate lens epithelium and early fiber differentiation.

Separate neurochemical classes of sympathetic postganglionic neurons project to the left ventricle of the rat heart.
TL;DR: The sympathetic innervation of the rat heart was investigated by retrograde neuronal tracing and multiple label immunohistochemistry and it was found that separate sympathetic pathways projecting to the ratheart may control different cardiac functions.

Cocaine- and amphetamine-related transcript peptide and somatostatin in rat intracardiac ganglia
TL;DR: Additional chemical diversity was identified among elements of the rat cardiac nervous system that may define neural pathways of different function within the rat intracardiac nervous system.
