The paper shows that sound-safety association enhances striatal neuron responses to learned sounds through postsynaptic changes in direct pathway SPNs.

The paper examines how different cell types in the ventral hippocampus encode anxiety-related information during an anxiety test, finding distinct encoding patterns in granule cells and mossy cells.

This study shows that fluoxetine reactivates a dormant developmental plasticity program in mature neurons, leading to synaptic rejuvenation and antidepressant-like effects.

The paper investigates prefrontal cortex (PFC) neuronal activity during a complex spatial working memory task in rodents and finds retrospective mnemonic representations of spatial information during the delay phase, particularly on error trials.

This study investigates how adult born granule cells influence pattern separation by modulating remapping of place and cue cells in the hippocampus.

This study maps mitochondrial morphology in different neuronal compartments of the aging mouse hippocampus using 3D electron microscopy, revealing age-related differences in mitochondrial structure across cell types.

The paper shows that decreased DMS direct pathway neuronal activity, dependent on dopamine, is required for motor coordination learning, while DLS activity remains stable and correlates with skill maintenance.

The paper identifies 'cue cells' in the dentate gyrus that encode sensory cues independently of spatial location, alongside traditional 'place cells', revealing a previously overlooked heterogeneity in DG function.
