The paper identifies enhancer-AAV tools for specific neuronal subtypes and validates them across species.

This study investigates intrinsic excitability changes in hippocampal inhibitory interneurons in Fragile X mice, finding increased Ih in a specific subpopulation.

This study shows that social odors specifically drive changes in hippocampal CA2 place cell firing during and after social interactions.

This study shows that hyperactivation of MEK1 in cortical glutamatergic neurons leads to axon outgrowth deficits and impaired motor learning, but not locomotor activity.

The paper shows that opioids suppress inhibition in hippocampal PV-INs but not neocortex across species and development, highlighting conserved and divergent roles in neural circuits.

The paper identifies two distinct subtypes of low threshold interneurons in mouse CA1 stratum oriens based on spike frequency adaptation and Ih current density.
