The paper identifies distinct VIP interneuron subpopulations in the ACC that selectively encode anxiogenic, anxiolytic, social, or non-social stimuli in mice.

This study investigates sex differences in behavioral and brainstem transcriptomic changes in mice exposed to neonatal opioids, finding sex-specific neuroadaptations linked to NOWS-like behaviors.

This paper introduces a novel miniaturized mesoscope for cellular-resolution imaging of neural activity in freely behaving mice, enabling comprehensive visualization across brain regions.

This study shows that increased C4 expression in mice causes prefrontal cortex hypoconnectivity and reduced social interaction, linking C4 to schizophrenia pathogenesis.

The paper develops an in vitro model using zebra finch brain slices to study sparse neuronal activity networks.
