1	How does neuronal activity specifically trigger PGC-1α expression in PV+ intern… The abstract establishes that neuronal activity triggers PGC-1α-mediated maturation but doesn't explain the upstream signaling cascade linking activity to PGC-1… gap-pubmed-20260410-100510-e8b06f57	open	0.840	developmental neurobiology	2026-04-10	Open →
2	What is the direct molecular mechanism by which Meis2 regulates Sonic hedgehog… The study shows Meis2 knockout produces Shh-like phenotypes and dysregulates Shh-responsive genes, but the direct mechanistic link between Meis2 and Shh pathway… gap-pubmed-20260410-193107-8bd68706	open	0.800	developmental neurobiology	2026-04-10	Open →
3	What determines the developmental timing of when PV+ interneurons become respon… The study shows maturation occurs at 'appropriate developmental stages' but doesn't explain what molecular clock or developmental cues determine this critical p… gap-pubmed-20260410-100510-01a60b82	open	0.770	developmental neurobiology	2026-04-10	Open →
4	What determines the anatomical specificity of PVALB+ vagal neurons for NEBs ver… PVALB+ vagal neurons specifically innervate NEBs rather than other mechanosensitive lung structures involved in the Hering-Breuer reflex.
