The paper investigates how hippocampal input to prefrontal VIP interneurons changes with activity and affects spatial working memory task learning in mice.

This study investigates the role of somatostatin neurotransmission in prefrontal cortical circuits during learning, showing it shapes configural representations and network dynamics related to salient outcomes.

This study examines how cortical neurons respond to mild TBI, identifying ATF3 as a marker for stress-responsive neurons and showing that layer V neurons die while layer II/III neurons survive.

This paper identifies distinct roles of dopamine D3 and D1 receptors in regulating motivation and reinforcement in the nucleus accumbens, showing compartmentalized signaling within the same cell type.

The paper shows that vmPFC Dyn neurons suppress defensive behaviors by releasing dynorphin in response to threats and promoting fear-related network states.

This paper investigates how the dynorphin/kappa-opioid receptor system modulates excitation-inhibition balance in prefrontal cortical circuits through pathway-specific mechanisms.
