Synaptic acetylcholine induces sharp wave ripples in the basolateral amygdala through nicotinic receptors

This study shows that synaptic acetylcholine induces sharp wave ripples in the basolateral amygdala via nicotinic receptors, challenging the view of neuromodulators as purely modulatory.

Nanoscale analysis of functionally diverse glutamatergic synapses in the neocortex reveals input and layer-specific organization

The paper uses STED nanoscopy to analyze synaptic nanoarchitecture in neocortical synapses, revealing input and layer-specific organization.

Acetylcholine engages distinct amygdala microcircuits to gate internal theta rhythm

The paper shows acetylcholine activates specific amygdala circuits to control theta oscillations, which are linked to emotional memory.

Differential regulation of prelimbic and thalamic transmission to the basolateral amygdala by acetylcholine receptors

This study investigates how acetylcholine receptors differentially regulate cortical and thalamic inputs to the basolateral amygdala using electrophysiology and optogenetics in mouse brain slices.
