Mineralocorticoid receptor knockout alters hippocampal CA2 neurons to become like those in CA1
Communications Biology - Spatial transcriptomics reveals that the molecular phenotype of hippocampal area CA2, which is critical for many social behaviors, is profoundly altered upon knock-out of...

Now officially out! What do CA2 neurons become in an Nr3c2 KO? We used spatial transcriptomics to find out.

Sigh. NIH normally sends several hundred scientists to the SFN annual meeting to learn, exchange info, come up with new ideas, and advance science. (The exchange of ideas is the very core of the scientific enterprise.)
This year, no one from NIH will attend due to the gov't implosion.
