The paper develops ChromTRAP to identify recently activated neuronal ensembles and reveals brain-region- and cell-type-specific regulatory programs during learning.

The paper introduces HisTrac-seq to track cell identity transitions over time using single-cell multi-omics, revealing large-scale 'identity jumps' in mouse brain cells.

The paper shows that non-Hebbian plasticity can convert transient experiences into lasting memories through synaptic manipulations outside the time of initial learning.

This study demonstrates that self-complementary AAV1 with a strong promoter can enable recombinase-independent anterograde transsynaptic labeling in neural circuits.

The paper shows that the thalamic-basolateral amygdala pathway processes innate and learned threats differently, with distinct neural activity patterns and response mechanisms.

The paper introduces TRACE, a method to label transiently activated synaptic inputs in the brain, validated in four brain regions with known sensory inputs.
