Cell-type-specific cholinergic control of granular retrosplenial cortex with implications for angular velocity coding across brain states

Izabela Jedrasiak‐Cape, Chloe Rybicki-Kler, Isla A. W. Brooks, Megha Ghosh, Ellen K.W. Brennan, Sameer Kailasa, Tyler G. Ekins, Alan C. Rupp, Omar J. Ahmed

The paper identifies a distinct RSG neuron subtype, LR neurons, that lacks persistent firing in response to cholinergic agonists, enabling consistent angular head velocity computation across brain states.

Thalamus and claustrum control parallel layer 1 circuits in retrosplenial cortex

Ellen K.W. Brennan, Izabela Jedrasiak‐Cape, Sameer Kailasa, Sharena P. Rice, S Sudhakar, Omar J. Ahmed

This study identifies parallel circuits in the granular retrosplenial cortex that process spatial and non-spatial information through distinct neuronal subtypes.

Uniquely excitable neurons enable precise and persistent information transmission through the retrosplenial cortex

Ellen K.W. Brennan, S Sudhakar, Izabela Jedrasiak‐Cape, Omar J. Ahmed

The paper identifies a unique cell type in the retrosplenial cortex that supports precise and persistent information encoding through its intrinsic properties.
