Adult-born neurons maintain hippocampal cholinergic inputs and support working memory during aging

This study shows that adult-born neurons maintain hippocampal cholinergic inputs and support working memory during aging by sustaining septohippocampal circuits.

The classic psychedelic DOI induces a persistent desynchronized state in medial prefrontal cortex

This study shows that the psychedelic DOI induces persistent desynchronization in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice during rest and active states, altering neural activity patterns.

Mature parvalbumin interneuron function in prefrontal cortex requires activity during a postnatal sensitive period

The paper shows that inhibiting parvalbumin interneurons in the prefrontal cortex during juvenile and adolescent periods causes lasting impairments in adult circuit function and behavior, which can be reversed by reactivating these neurons in adulthood.

Ventral tegmental area GABA neurons mediate stress-induced anhedonia.

This study shows that VTA GABA neurons drive NAc oscillations during stress, which are necessary and sufficient for stress-induced anhedonia.
