Developmental Dynamics of Naturalistic Social Behavior Revealed by Longitudinal Multi-Animal Tracking

Sunjin Kim, Yejin Jeong, Hein Lin Thant, Haeri Choi, Ain Chung

The paper develops a method to track multi-animal social behavior over time and shows how early-life social experiences affect social organization and neurodevelopment.

A dorsal hippocampus-prodynorphinergic dorsolateral septum-to-lateral hypothalamus circuit mediates contextual gating of feeding

Travis D. Goode, Mollie X. Bernstein, Michael S. Totty, Jason Bondoc Alipio, Cinzia Vicidomini, Devesh Pathak, Antoine Besnard, Delara Chizari, Nina Sachdev, Michael D. Kritzer, Ain Chung, Xin Duan, Evan Z. Macosko, Stephanie C. Hicks, Larry S. Zweifel, Amar Sahay

The paper identifies a circuit involving DLS Pdyn neurons that links contextual cues to feeding regulation through inhibition of LHA GABAergic neurons.

Neotenic expansion of adult-born dentate granule cells reconfigures GABAergic inhibition to enhance social memory consolidation

Ain Chung, Jason Bondoc Alipio, Megha Ghosh, Liam Evans, Samara M. Miller, Travis D. Goode, Iyanah Mehta, Omar J. Ahmed, Amar Sahay

The paper shows that expanding immature adult-born dentate granule cells in mice enhances GABAergic inhibition and improves social memory consolidation.

Dentate spikes and external control of hippocampal function

Dino Dvořák, Ain Chung, Eunhye Park, André Antonio Fenton

The paper shows that dentate spike type 2 events promote slow gamma dominance in the hippocampus, altering excitation-inhibition coordination across hippocampal regions.

Learning to learn persistently modifies an entorhinal-hippocampal excitatory-inhibitory subcircuit

Ain Chung, Claudia Jou, Alejandro Borja Grau-Perales, Eliott R. J. Levy, Dino Dvořák, Nida Hussain, André Antonio Fenton

The paper shows that cognitive control training in mice leads to long-lasting changes in hippocampal circuitry that enhance signal-to-noise processing.

Persistent increases of PKMζ in memory-activated neurons trace LTP maintenance during spatial long-term memory storage

Changchi Hsieh, Panayiotis Tsokas, Alejandro Borja Grau-Perales, Edith Lesburguères, Joseph Bukai, K. L. Khanna, Joelle Chorny, Ain Chung, Claudia Jou, Nesha S. Burghardt, Christine Ann Denny, Rafael E. Flores‐Obando, Benjamin Rush Hartley, Laura Melissa Rodriguez-Valencia, Alejandro Ivan Hernandez, , Todd Charlton Sacktor

The paper shows that persistent PKMζ increases in specific hippocampal neurons during LTP maintenance and spatial memory storage, indicating its role in long-term memory.
