The paper identifies early brain state maladaptations in mouse and human neuroinflammation that contribute to disease progression independent of relapse activity.

The paper shows that descending auditory cortex neurons do not preserve tonotopy, unlike ascending neurons, suggesting feedback processing may involve diverse inputs.

A survey of the German neuroscience community identifies key barriers to reproducible research and outlines strategies for improving research data management.

The paper investigates how inhibiting presynaptic calcium channel mobility in the auditory cortex affects synchronized input processing and reveals its role in adjusting network activity across synaptic input strengths.

The paper develops a method to study intracortical horizontal connections in rodent auditory cortex and shows their role in frequency-tuning and gamma oscillations.

TetrODrive is a low-cost, 3D-printable microdrive for electrophysiology and optophysiology in mice, enabling stable recordings and optotagging with high signal-to-noise ratio.

This study investigates acute and long-term changes in auditory cortex circuitry after sound trauma in gerbils, showing compensatory mechanisms in thalamocortical and intracortical inputs.

This study shows that different layers of the auditory cortex encode task-related and choice-related information during a behavioral task in rodents.

This study shows ketamine increases recurrent excitation in granular layers of the auditory cortex, leading to gain enhancement in response to auditory stimuli.

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of the VTA enhances thalamic inputs to infragranular layers of the auditory cortex, leading to frequency-specific gain amplification and prolonged sensory processing effects.
