Refinement and Retrospective Shift of the CA1 Place Code during Food-Carrying Decisions

Zahra Rezaei, Ian Q. Whishaw, Robert J. Sutherland, HaoRan Chang, Majid H. Mohajerani

The paper shows that during food-carrying decisions, CA1 place codes become more precise, stable, and temporally organized compared to when mice eat food in place.

Foraging Reveals Systematic Suboptimality That Is Amplified in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer Disease

Zahra Rezaei, Reza Torabi, Hardeep Singh Ryait, Ian Q. Whishaw, Robert J. Sutherland, Majid H. Mohajerani

This study uses a foraging task to assess decision-making in mice, finding that Alzheimer's model mice show greater suboptimality in action selection compared to controls.

Inhibition is a prevalent mode of activity in the neocortex around awake hippocampal ripples

Javad Karimi Abadchi, Zahra Rezaei, Thomas Knöpfel, Bruce L. McNaughton, Majid H. Mohajerani

The paper investigates neocortical activity during hippocampal ripples in awake mice, finding that deactivation and activation dominate post-ripple activity, with distinct subpopulations of neurons showing opposing firing rate changes.
