Developmental dysfunction of VIP interneurons impairs cortical circuits

This study shows that disrupting VIP interneurons via ErbB4 deletion causes cortical circuit dysfunction and behavioral abnormalities in a schizophrenia model.

Altered hippocampal interneuron activity precedes ictal onset

This study examines interneuron activity before seizure onset and finds that inhibition remains intact, suggesting seizures result from network decoupling rather than inhibition failure.

Projection-specific visual feature encoding by layer 5 cortical subnetworks.

The paper identifies distinct functional subnetworks in layer 5 of primary visual cortex that differentially route visual information to downstream targets based on their response properties.

Cell-type and state-dependent synchronization among rodent areas S1BF, V1, perirhinal cortex and hippocampus CA1

The paper examines how beta and gamma rhythms in rodent brain areas S1BF, V1, perirhinal cortex, and hippocampus CA1 are synchronized, showing cell-type and state-dependent differences.

Arousal and locomotion make distinct contributions to cortical activity patterns and visual encoding

This study dissociates the effects of arousal and locomotion on cortical activity in mice, showing distinct impacts on firing rates, temporal patterns, and visual encoding.
