The paper identifies three distinct subpopulations of L1 NDNF interneurons in mice that show opposite activation patterns during NREM sleep oscillations, with implications for memory consolidation.

This study compares how reward locations are encoded in dorsal and ventral hippocampus during navigation, finding distinct coding strategies in each region.

This study investigates how brainstem cholinergic neurons modulate thalamic activity and cortical sleep stages in anesthetized mice using optogenetic techniques.

This study shows that cholinergic activation at the goal location impairs spatial memory and suppresses sharp wave-ripples, while enhancing theta-gamma oscillations during sleep in mice.

The paper shows that basal forebrain and brainstem cholinergic neurons differentially affect amygdala circuits and behavior through distinct mechanisms.
