Clustered heterogeneity, spiking history and efficient silencing maximize mutual information in adaptive time encoding

Distributed hierarchical filters partition the Danionella vocal repertoire

The paper shows that vocal call categorization in Danionella is distributed across multiple brain regions rather than localized to a single area.

Multiplexing of functionally distinct inputs by intrinsic modulation of spike timing in a monoaminergic nucleus

The paper investigates how 5-HT neurons in the DRN encode and distinguish two excitatory inputs using spike timing and intrinsic cellular mechanisms.

Multimodal reference brain atlas of adult Danionella cerebrum

The paper creates a multimodal reference brain atlas for adult Danionella cerebrum, integrating anatomical, molecular, and functional data to study brain structure and sexual dimorphism.

Shortcutting from self-motion signals: quantifying trajectories and active sensing in an open maze

This study quantifies how mice navigate an open maze by analyzing their movement and hole-checking behavior, revealing a cognitive map and learning dynamics.

Dentate gyrus mossy cells exhibit sparse coding via adaptive spike threshold dynamics

This paper investigates the biophysical properties of hilar mossy cells (hMCs) and develops a model to explain their adaptive spike threshold dynamics and role in pattern separation.

Mixed selectivity coding of sensory and motor social signals in the thalamus of a weakly electric fish

The paper investigates how mixed selectivity codes sensory and motor social signals in the thalamus of weakly electric fish, showing their role in social behavior and dominance.

Cellular and network mechanisms may generate sparse coding of sequential object encounters in hippocampal-like circuits

The paper investigates the cellular and network mechanisms in the dorsal lateral pallium of fish that generate sparse coding of sequential object encounters.

Neural activity in a hippocampus-like region of the teleost pallium are associated with navigation and active sensing

The paper characterizes neural activity in a hippocampal-like region of a teleost fish brain and links active sensing to spatial navigation.

A novel time-stamp mechanism transforms egocentric encounters into an allocentric spatial representation

This paper demonstrates that electric fish use a time-stamp mechanism in the preglomerular complex to transform egocentric encounters into allocentric spatial representations through path-integration.
