The formation of an expanding memory representation in the hippocampus

The paper tracks hippocampal CA1 place cells over 7 days of learning, showing increased stability and task-related representation, supported by synaptic plasticity.

A critical role for CaMKII in behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons.

This study shows that CaMKII autophosphorylation is essential for behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity in hippocampal CA1 neurons.

Altered A-type potassium channel function impairs dendritic spike initiation and temporammonic long-term potentiation in Fragile X syndrome

This study shows that impaired A-type potassium channel function in FXS mice leads to reduced dendritic spike initiation and TA-LTP, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for cognitive impairments.
