Dynamic population coding of social novelty in the insular cortex

The paper investigates how neurons in the agranular insular cortex distinguish between familiar and novel social conspecifics using calcium imaging in mice during social recognition memory and discrimination tasks.

CA2 inhibition reduces the precision of hippocampal assembly reactivation

This study shows that inhibiting CA2 neurons in mice reduces the temporal and informational precision of CA1 ensemble reactivation during sharp-wave ripples.

Encoding of social exploration by neural ensembles in the insular cortex

The paper identifies two subsets of insular cortex neurons in mice that encode social exploration behavior differently during interactions with social targets.

Comprehensive Topographical Map of the Serotonergic Fibers in the Mouse Brain

This study maps the topography of serotonergic fibers in the mouse brain using transgenic mice, revealing new regional density and anatomical patterns.
