Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability.

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

Multiple Sclerosis and Viruses: « Liaisons Dangereuses ». [PDF]

open access: yesRev Med Virol
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disease with an aetiology that is still partially elusive. Several risk factors are associated with MS development including genetic predisposition and various environmental stressors; however, recently, viral infections have gained significant attention as a crucial ...

Hypoxia‐induced vulnerability of the somatosensory nervous system

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sensory neurons are highly energy dependent and rely on sufficient oxygen availability to maintain metabolic stability and effective neurocommunication. Within the somatosensory system, even modest reductions in tissue oxygen tension impair neuronal respiration, forcing a shift toward less efficient metabolic pathways that ...

A Computational Framework for Myelin as a Regulator of Temporal Integration, Neuronal Excitability, and Synaptic Plasticity

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 12, December 2026.
Computational models illustrate how myelinating glia may shape the temporal integration of spikes upon a common postsynaptic target. Models show consequences for synaptic plasticity, neuronal excitability, and the fidelity of neural signals. ABSTRACT Myelin regulates neural signaling not only by enabling fast conduction but also by dynamically tuning ...

Myelin Maintenance and Addition Regulate Synaptic Plasticity in the Adult Mouse Cortex

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 12, December 2026.
We report that existing myelin allows neurons to remain plastic throughout life, while new myelin progressively stabilises synapses along the basal but not apical dendrites of layer V pyramidal neurons in the motor cortex. ABSTRACT Myelin has the capacity to affect synapse number or plasticity across the lifespan.
