Persistent representation of a prior schema in the orbitofrontal cortex facilitates learning of a conflicting schema

This study shows that persistent representation of a prior schema in the orbitofrontal cortex supports learning of a conflicting schema in rats.

Aberrant circuitry underlying olfaction in the face of severe olfactory bulb degeneration

This study shows that olfactory function can be preserved in mice with severe olfactory bulb degeneration due to altered circuitry compensating for lost structures.

Sparse Coding in Temporal Association Cortex Improves Complex Sound Discriminability

This study shows that the temporal association cortex (TeA) in mice processes sounds with sparser neuronal responses, enhancing sensitivity to complex sounds like frequency modulated sweeps.

Learning-related population dynamics in the auditory thalamus

This study shows that the medial geniculate body encodes task, motor, and learning-related information during auditory discrimination learning in mice.

Neural correlates of learning pure tones versus natural sounds in the auditory cortex

The paper investigates how perceptual learning of pure tones versus natural sounds affects neural plasticity in the auditory cortex, finding that natural sounds induce sparsening and decorrelation, improving discrimination of complex sounds.
