This study identifies recurrent inhibition as a key circuit motif regulating functional states of stress effector neurons through experimental and computational approaches.

This study finds increased circulating TREM2+ microglia extracellular vesicles in aged APP/PS1 rats linked to cognitive impairment.

The paper examines how microglial morphology correlates with cognitive performance in aging rats, finding that specific microglial subtypes are associated with cognitive function in key brain regions.

This study investigates the role of prefrontal parvalbumin neurons in attention and cognition, showing reduced activity in attention-deficient mice and 22q11.2 mutants, and demonstrates that gamma stimulation can improve task performance.

This paper introduces an open-source restraint system for awake rat fMRI that eliminates anesthesia, reducing stress and motion artifacts while enabling high-quality imaging and behavioral integration.

This study identifies a mechanism by which CRH neurons in the hypothalamus switch between activity states in response to stress, using electrophysiology and computational modeling.

The paper examines how properties of alpha oscillations in EEG data correlate with oral language ability in young children.
