This study identifies medial septal glutamatergic neurons as essential for maintaining grid cell spatial stability and speed coding in the medial entorhinal cortex through optogenetic silencing and network modeling.

This study investigates how CeA neurons encode behavioral features during habit formation in rats performing a maze task, finding increased cFos expression and specific outcome-related activity.

The paper tests the CTC hypothesis by showing that a third of striatal neurons exhibit phase-dependent excitability in the delta frequency band.

This study investigates neural reactivation during REM sleep in mice, finding that novel and anxiety-related experiences shape distinct patterns of hippocampal assembly reactivation and sequence replay.

This study shows that REM sleep stabilizes newly formed place cells through coordinated population activity in the hippocampus.

The paper shows that gamma LFP oscillations in anterior limbic structures are volume-conducted from the piriform cortex, not generated locally.

This study characterizes rhythmic spiking activity in rat ventral striatal neurons across frequencies and cell types, revealing dynamic spike-field relationships and inter-area coupling.

This study shows that rat nucleus accumbens encodes cue identity, location, and expected outcome simultaneously, with this coding persisting through decision and outcome phases.

The paper identifies the piriform cortex as the origin of gamma oscillations in the rat ventral striatum, showing that local circuitry in the ventral striatum is not the primary driver.
