Aberrant structural synaptic dynamics precede disorganization of temporal and spatial coding in the hippocampus upon repeated stress exposure

This study shows that repeated stress reduces spine stability and disrupts temporal and spatial coding in hippocampal CA1 neurons.

Stability of excitatory structural connectivity predicts the probability of CA1 pyramidal neurons to become engram neurons

The paper shows that stable excitatory synaptic connectivity predicts which CA1 pyramidal neurons will become engram neurons after learning.
