The paper investigates whether AD-like pathology affects thalamic projections to the retrosplenial cortex in hAPP-J20 mice, finding no impairment in synaptic strength or c-Fos expression.

The paper examines region- and layer-specific glutamatergic synapse maturation in the developing cortex, finding that layers involved in higher-order circuits mature later, particularly in layer 1 during adolescence.

This study investigates synaptic inputs to the retrosplenial cortex, finding that all recorded pyramidal neurons receive input from the anterior thalamic nuclei, with stronger responses compared to other sources.

The paper investigates a reported projection from mouse anterior cingulate cortex to hippocampus and finds no evidence of such a direct connection using multiple methods.

The paper investigates beta bursting in the retrosplenial cortex of mice, finding it correlates with environmental novelty and is disrupted in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

The paper investigates the synaptic connections of the nucleus reuniens to hippocampal CA1 and finds that it preferentially targets inhibitory interneurons rather than pyramidal cells.

The paper tests if chemogenetic activation of thalamic nuclei improves memory in Alzheimer's mouse models but finds no significant improvement in spatial memory or hyperactivity.
