The functional impact of LGI1 autoantibodies on human CA3 pyramidal neurons

This study examines the effects of LGI1 autoantibodies on human CA3 neurons using ex vivo slices, revealing increased neuronal activity and distinct mechanisms from potassium channel blockers.

Sub-type specific connectivity between CA3 pyramidal neurons may underlie their sequential activation during sharp waves

The paper investigates connectivity between thorny and athorny CA3 pyramidal neurons and finds asymmetric input patterns that may explain their sequential activation during sharp waves.

Local microcircuitry of parasubiculum shows distinct and common features of excitatory and inhibitory connectivity

The paper investigates the local connectivity patterns in the parasubiculum, revealing high interconnectivity between pyramidal neurons and interneurons, and similarities and differences with other parahippocampal regions.

Estrus-Cycle Regulation of Cortical Inhibition

This study shows that the estrus-cycle modulates cortical inhibition in female rats by altering fast-spiking interneuron activity via estrogen receptor β.
