Experience reorganizes content-specific memory traces in macaques

The paper shows that memory traces in macaques become more stable over time, with older memories showing less drift and stronger sleep reactivation.

FMR1 reduction alters cellular and circuit properties in human cortex

This study reduces FMR1 expression in human cortical slices to model Fragile X syndrome, revealing cell type-specific transcriptomic and electrophysiological changes not observed in mouse models.

Circuit dynamics of superficial and deep CA1 pyramidal cells and inhibitory cells in freely-moving macaques

The paper identifies sublayer-specific circuit organization in hippocampal CA1 of freely-moving macaques through analysis of neuron classes and their functional interactions.

Head movement allocation in freely-moving macaques learning object-context sequences

This study examines how freely-moving macaques allocate head movements during learning and memory-guided decision-making in a complex 3D environment using recurrent neural networks.

A machine learning toolbox for the analysis of sharp-wave ripples reveal common features across species

This paper introduces a machine learning toolbox for detecting and analyzing sharp-wave ripples across species, revealing shared features in mice and macaques.

Theta- and gamma-band oscillatory uncoupling in the macaque hippocampus

This study examines hippocampal oscillations in macaques, finding that theta and gamma bands are segregated by behavioral states, differing from rodent patterns.

Retrosplenial and hippocampal synchrony during retrieval of old memories in macaques

The paper examines neural activity in macaques during memory retrieval, finding distinct oscillatory patterns for old and new memories.
