Activity-induced weakening of hippocampal input to prefrontal VIP interneurons reshapes inhibitory microcircuit function: implications for spatial working memory task acquisition

The paper investigates how hippocampal input to prefrontal VIP interneurons changes with activity and affects spatial working memory task learning in mice.

Elimination of galanin synthesis in noradrenergic neurons reduces galanin in select brain areas and promotes active coping behaviors

This study shows that eliminating galanin in noradrenergic neurons reduces galanin in specific brain regions and alters coping behaviors without affecting norepinephrine levels.

A role for the locus coeruleus in the modulation of feeding

This study shows that locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) neurons modulate feeding by integrating external and internal cues, with their activity changing during food approach and consumption.
