This study uses a mouse model of artificial hibernation to show that specific synaptic engram structures are preserved despite widespread spine and synapse elimination, suggesting their role in long-term memory retention.

The paper investigates the synaptic architecture of memory engrams in the mouse hippocampus, revealing that memory acquisition involves expansion of connectomes through multi-synaptic boutons without altering axonal terminals or dendritic spines.

The paper identifies phosphorylated pyruvate dehydrogenase (pPDH) as an in vivo marker for neuronal inhibition, correlating with reduced action potential firing and detectable across various inhibitory conditions.

This study shows Nr4a1 regulates synaptic organizer molecule transcription in inhibitory interneurons, affecting axonal wiring and transcriptional switches in mouse forebrain.

This paper develops a PET-based method using ecDHFR and TMP analogs to image neuronal networks in mammalian brains, enabling visualization of neuronal activity and protein dynamics.

This study shows that class IIa HDACs 4 and 5 regulate early response gene expression during learning, affecting memory formation and synaptic function.

This study investigates long-term gene expression changes in the medial prefrontal cortex after fear conditioning and finds presynaptic growth in neurons projecting to the basolateral amygdala.
