A Hypothalamic Inhibitory Circuit Encoding the Scalability of Stress Responses

The paper identifies a hypothalamic inhibitory circuit that modulates stress response scalability by regulating GABA release in response to prolonged stressors.

Neural signatures of opioid-induced risk-taking behavior in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex

This study identifies neural signatures in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex associated with opioid-induced risk-taking behavior using a novel conflict task and neuronal recordings in rats.

Enhancing associative learning in rats with a computationally designed training protocol

This study shows that a computationally designed training protocol with irregular intervals enhances associative learning in rats by improving fear memory retrieval and extinction.

Neural correlates and determinants of approach-avoidance conflict in the prelimbic prefrontal cortex

This study identifies PLGLUT neurons in the prelimbic cortex as causal regulators of individual differences in memory-based risky decision making during approach-avoidance conflict.

Functional repair after ischemic injury through high efficiency in situ astrocyte-to-neuron conversion

This study demonstrates high-efficiency in situ astrocyte-to-neuron conversion in adult mammalian brains to repair ischemic injury, generating sufficient new neurons to cover 40% of lost neurons and improve motor and memory function.
