Decoding instrumental lever pressing from prefrontal, accumbens, and hippocampal local field potentials: conservation across sex, task, and dopamine depletion

This study decodes lever-pressing behavior from multi-region LFP in rats across sex, task, and dopamine depletion conditions, showing stable decoding across animals and conditions.

Tracking long-term natural changes in hippocampal excitatory to inhibitory synapses from spikes

The paper tracks long-term changes in hippocampal excitatory-to-inhibitory synapses using spike data from mice, finding that covariance of pre- and postsynaptic activity improves prediction of synaptic efficacy fluctuations.

Disruption of theta-timescale spiking impairs learning but spares hippocampal replay

This study shows that disrupting theta-timescale spiking during locomotion impairs learning but does not affect hippocampal replay during immobility in rats.

Dynamic Synchronization between Hippocampal Spatial Representations and the Stepping Rhythm

The paper investigates the synchronization between hippocampal spatial representations and limb movement rhythms in rats, finding coordinated timing between plant times and hippocampal spatial encoding.
