Maturation of Hippocampus-Medial Prefrontal Cortex Projections Defines a Pathway-Specific Sensitive Period for Cognitive Flexibility

Arely Cruz-Sanchez, Kathleen E. LaDouceur, Anusha Abdusalom, Helen Chasiotis, Radu Gugustea, Mehreen Inayat, Unza Mumtaz, Maryam Hasantash, Christoph Anacker, Maithé Arruda-Carvalho

This study examines the development of hippocampus-mPFC projections in mice, finding that juvenile inhibition of specific pathways affects adult cognitive flexibility in a sex- and pathway-specific manner.

Dorsal peduncular cortex activity modulates affective behavior and fear extinction in mice

Justin J. Botterill, Abdessattar Khlaifia, Ryan Appings, Jennifer Wilkin, Francesca Violi, Hanista Premachandran, Arely Cruz-Sanchez, Anna Elisabete Canella, Ashutosh V. Patel, S. Danyal Zaidi, Maithé Arruda-Carvalho

This study shows that activating the dorsal peduncular cortex (DP/DTT) in mice increases anxiety-like behavior and affects fear extinction, suggesting a role in emotional regulation.
