A wireless modular platform for neuro-behavioral recording and closed-loop manipulation in small animals

The paper introduces a wireless platform for recording and manipulating neural activity in small animals during natural behaviors.

Goal-directed hippocampal theta sweeps during memory-guided navigation

The paper identifies two types of hippocampal theta sequences in rats during memory-guided navigation and describes a circuit mechanism for goal-directed sweeps.

Medial entorhinal-hippocampal desynchronization parallels the emergence of memory impairment in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease pathology

The paper examines neural activity in the medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of 3xTg mice, finding that reduced theta power and coherence, along with disrupted phase locking, coincide with the onset of spatial memory impairment in a model of Alzheimer's disease.

Dynamic shifts in brain criticality support cognitive processing

This study examines how critical dynamics in the hippocampus shift during learning and sleep to support cognitive functions.

Large sharp-wave ripples promote hippocampo-cortical memory reactivation and consolidation

The paper identifies large sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) that enhance memory reactivation and consolidation in mice by improving hippocampal and prefrontal cortex coordination during sleep.

A hippocampal population code for rapid generalization

This study shows that the hippocampus enables rapid generalization in mice through disentangled memory representations and structured circuit dynamics.

Intricate epileptiform discharges affect memory in an Alzheimer's Disease mouse model

The paper investigates how interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) affect memory in Alzheimer's Disease mice, finding that IEDs disrupt hippocampal activity and correlate with impaired memory.

Hippocampo-cortical circuits for selective memory encoding, routing, and replay

The paper identifies specialized hippocampo-cortical subcircuits that organize memory encoding, routing, and replay through distinct pyramidal cell subpopulations.

Subcircuits of deep and superficial CA1 place cells support efficient spatial coding across heterogeneous environments

The paper investigates how hippocampal CA1 place cells in mice and rats adapt their spatial coding strategies based on environmental cue richness, revealing distinct firing rate and phase codes in superficial and deep sublayers.

Hippocampal CA2 ripples recruit social replay and promote social memory

This study shows that CA2 ripples during sleep replay social exploration experiences, and disrupting or enhancing these ripples affects social memory consolidation.
