Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mohamad Motaharinia"
Research Focus
: Mohamad Motaharinia's research primarily investigates the effects of stroke on specific subpopulations of inhibitory interneurons, particularly those expressing vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and their role in regulating cortical excitability.
Key Findings
: His study demonstrated that stroke significantly disrupts cortical excitability, but chemogenetic enhancement of VIP interneuron activity in a murine stroke model can improve sensory responses and functional recovery.
Publication
: The findings were published in "Nature Communications" in October 2021, highlighting the potential for targeted therapies aimed at interneuron subpopulations to aid recovery post-stroke.
