This study shows that a single dose of DMT reverses depressive-like behaviors and cognitive deficits in a mouse model of depression by restoring neurogenesis.

This study identifies a non-canonical reticular-limbic pathway that mediates auditory regulation of hippocampal locomotion circuits through theta oscillations and interregional synchronization.

This study shows that 5-MeO-DMT induces sleep-like LFP patterns in awake rats' hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, independent of locomotion and theta power changes.

This study shows that activating layer 5 Chrna2 Martinotti cells during motor learning reduces pyramidal cell plasticity but improves motor skill execution in learned tasks.

This review examines how psychedelic compounds affect neurogenesis and brain plasticity, finding varied effects across different classes of psychedelics.

This study examines Slc10a4 knockout mice to assess their role in auditory processing and sensory motor gating, suggesting they may model neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia.

The paper describes an optimized LCM protocol for extracting high-quality RNA from specific mouse brain regions.

This study shows that reducing activity of CaMKII+ neurons in the dorsal cochlear nucleus decreases tinnitus-like responses in mice, suggesting these neurons maintain, but do not induce, tinnitus.

This paper investigates the use of genetic markers to target specific cell populations in the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) for auditory research, finding that certain promoters and Cre lines can be used to manipulate DCN neurons.

This study shows that loud noise exposure differentially affects firing properties of type A and B pyramidal cells in the auditory cortex of mice one week post-exposure.

The paper investigates the functional role of dendrites in MNTB neurons, finding that dendritic growth reduces EPSP decay time, enhancing signal precision.

This study shows that chronic optogenetic stimulation of hippocampal neurons reduces spine density, mEPSC amplitude, and impairs LTP while facilitating LTD.
