Secondary motor cortex tracks decision value and supports behavioral flexibility during non-instructed choice

This study shows that secondary motor cortex neurons encode decision values to support behavioral flexibility during non-instructed choice in mice.

NNeurite: artificial neuronal networks for the unsupervised extraction of axonal and dendritic time-lapse signals

NNeurite automatically extracts axonal and dendritic Ca2+ transient signals from time-lapse microscopy images of behaving mice without human intervention.

An increase in dendritic plateau potentials is associated with experience-dependent cortical map reorganization

The paper shows that increased dendritic plateau potentials, driven by the posterior medial thalamic nucleus, contribute to experience-dependent reorganization of whisker maps in the mouse primary somatosensory cortex.

Astroglial calcium transfer from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria determines synaptic integration

The paper shows that mtCB1 receptor activation in astrocytes regulates calcium transfer from ER to mitochondria, influencing synaptic integration and plasticity.

AMPAR trafficking dependent LTP initiates cortical remapping and adaptive behaviors during sensory experience

This study shows that AMPAR trafficking-dependent LTP drives cortical remapping and behavioral recovery after partial sensory loss in mice.

The integration of Gaussian noise by long-range amygdala inputs in frontal circuit promotes fear learning

The paper shows that frontal association cortex pyramidal neurons integrate Gaussian noise and amygdala inputs non-linearly to promote fear learning.
