Reduced MOV10 reveals novel functional cortical connections in an increased fear response

This study shows that MOV10 loss in mice leads to enhanced fear learning through altered cortical connectivity and increased GABRA2 expression, suggesting new mechanisms for fear memory and potential therapeutic targets.

Microprism-based two-photon imaging of the lateral cortex of the mouse inferior colliculus reveals novel organizational principles of the auditory midbrain

This paper uses microprism-based two-photon imaging to study the mouse inferior colliculus lateral cortex, revealing distinct functional properties of its structural motifs in response to auditory and somatosensory stimuli.

Developmental exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls prevents recovery from noise-induced hearing loss and disrupts the functional organization of the inferior colliculus

This study shows that developmental PCB exposure impairs recovery from noise-induced hearing loss and disrupts auditory midbrain organization in mice.

Corticothalamic gating of population auditory thalamocortical transmission in mouse

The paper investigates corticothalamic gating of auditory thalamocortical transmission in mice, finding that corticothalamic feedback inhibition controls population responses to sensory stimuli.

V-NeuroStack: 3D Time Stacks for Identifying Patterns in Calcium Imaging Data

V-NeuroStack is a visualization tool for analyzing calcium imaging data from mouse cortical neurons, enabling exploration of spatio-temporal patterns through 3D time stacks and 2D networks.

A novel mutual information estimator to measure spike train correlations in a model thalamocortical network

This paper introduces a novel mutual information estimator for spike train correlations in a thalamocortical network and shows it outperforms existing methods in analyzing simulated and electrophysiological data.
