A bifunctional optical reporter for tracking estrogen response dynamics in neurons

This paper introduces a bifunctional optical reporter, neuro-seeER, to track estrogen response dynamics in neurons in vivo and demonstrates its utility in capturing both exogenous and endogenous estrogen responses.

Context rescales a social action code in a hormone-sensitive network

The paper shows that hormonal changes disrupt how social context influences behavior by altering neural coding in the social behavior network.

A neural mechanism for learning from delayed postingestive feedback

The paper shows that postingestive malaise signals reactivate amygdala flavor representations, strengthening memory and resolving temporal credit assignment in aversive learning.

Aggression experience and observation promote shared behavioral and neural changes

The paper shows that observing aggression leads to neural and behavioral changes similar to direct experience, with shared plasticity mechanisms in aggression-related networks.

Independent inhibitory control mechanisms for aggressive motivation and action

This paper identifies distinct inhibitory circuits in the hypothalamus that separately control the motivational and action phases of aggression in mice.

Hyperexcitability and loss of feedforward inhibition in the Fmr1KO lateral amygdala.

This study shows that Fmr1KO mice have hyperexcitability and increased excitatory synaptic strength in the lateral amygdala, with reduced feedforward inhibition contributing to enhanced plasticity and E/I imbalance linked to anxiety disorders.

Cell type specific control of basolateral amygdala plasticity via entorhinal cortex-driven feedforward inhibition

The paper identifies a subpopulation of fast-spiking Sst+ interneurons that mediate feedforward inhibition and gate plasticity in the basolateral amygdala.
