The paper shows how activity-dependent lateral inhibition through NMDAR-RhoA signals determines synaptic competition and pruning in the olfactory bulb and barrel cortex.

This study shows that hippocampal CA1 neurons have stable activity levels across multiple environments despite daily fluctuations, with cells active in more environments carrying more spatial information.

This paper develops a 3D fluorescence microscope and algorithm to image more neurons in freely behaving mice compared to 2D methods.
