The paper investigates how sex hormones influence hippocampal inhibitory neurons in female mice, revealing organizational effects of neonatal hormones and estrous cycle dependencies.

This study shows that the lateral habenula is necessary for forming separate contextual and cued memories in fear conditioning, but not for their recall when combined.

A mouse model with impaired mitochondrial pyruvate import shows neuronal hyperexcitability and seizures despite reduced oxidative phosphorylation.

The paper identifies a differential role of CB1-expressing interneurons in controlling pyramidal neuron activity in primary and secondary visual cortical areas through distinct endocannabinoid mechanisms.

This study shows that IGF-I modulates stress vulnerability via orexin neurons, with Firoc mice lacking IGF-I receptors in these neurons showing heightened fear responses and PTSD-like behaviors.
