High-density extracellular recordings from the interior of intact brain organoids enable automated high-throughput functional assay

This paper develops an automated system to record neural activity from brain organoids and uses it to classify organoids with Alzheimer's disease mutations using a classifier with 100% accuracy.

Learning to learn: Single session acquisition of new rules by freely-moving mice

This study shows that mice can learn new rules quickly after minimal training, with performance improving over time based on experience and rule difficulty.

Dorsal CA1 silencing degrades tactile short-term memory

This study shows that hippocampal activity is necessary for maintaining tactile short-term memory in mice.

Local activation of CA1 pyramidal cells induces theta phase precession

The paper shows that artificial place fields in CA1 pyramidal cells of mice produce synthetic theta phase precession, indicating local generation within CA1.

Wired together, change together: Spike timing modifies transmission in converging assemblies

The paper shows that spike timing in neuronal assemblies affects synaptic connectivity, revealing that whole-cell assembly timing has a greater impact than individual cell pairs.

Positive and biphasic extracellular waveforms correspond to return currents and axonal spikes

The paper identifies non-negative extracellular waveforms in mice brains as return currents and axonal potentials, revealing their association with neural activity and compartments.

Short-term auditory priming in freely-moving mice

This study establishes a behavioral paradigm for studying short-term auditory priming in mice and finds a priming effect in success rate but not response time.

Hybrid offspring of C57BL/6J mice exhibit improved properties for neurobehavioral research

The paper describes hybrid mice created by crossing FVB/NJ and C57BL/6J strains, which show improved neurobehavioral traits and maintain performance with age.

Neuronal resonance can be generated independently at distinct levels of organization

The paper demonstrates that resonance in neuronal systems can arise independently at different organizational levels without requiring resonance at other levels.
