This study shows that perinatal ischemic stroke affects motor skills, cognitive abilities, muscle structure, and gut microbiota in mice, with improved motor function after fecal microbiota transplantation.

The paper shows that visual cortex maintains sensory discrimination regardless of behavior, while the hippocampal dentate gyrus requires active navigation for effective discrimination.

The paper investigates how inhibitory neurons shape preparatory signals in the mouse frontal cortex during motor planning, finding distinct roles for parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons.

This study uses 2-photon imaging in mice to show that the dentate gyrus enhances environmental differences while CA1 reflects behavioral performance during memory encoding.
