Long-lasting, subtype-specific regulation of somatostatin interneurons during sensory learning

The paper identifies subtype-specific plasticity in SST neurons during sensory learning and develops a classifier to predict learning-associated response plasticity.

Stimulus-reward contingencies drive long-lasting alterations in neocortical somatostatin inhibition during learning

The paper shows that learning alters neocortical somatostatin inhibition in a stimulus-reward dependent manner, specifically reducing inhibition in superficial layers of mouse somatosensory cortex.

An automated homecage system for multiwhisker detection and discrimination learning in mice

This paper describes an automated homecage system for training mice in multiwhisker discrimination learning using air current stimulation and water reward, showing rapid learning and performance improvements.
