The paper investigates sleep-dependent sensory gating in the olfactory system, showing reduced olfactory bulb activity during sleep and its correlation with neocortical slow-wave activity.

The paper uses non-linear metrics to differentiate firing dynamics between dorsal and median raphe neurons in rats, finding that OP Entropy is effective in distinguishing these neurons.

This paper generates Ccdc28b mutant mice and finds they exhibit social behavioral defects and autism-like features, suggesting a link between CCDC28B and autism spectrum disorder beyond its role as a modifier of Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
