GABAB receptor/HCN channel complexes in VTA dopamine neurons limit synaptic inhibition and prevent anxiety-like behavior

This study shows that GABAB receptor/HCN channel complexes in VTA dopamine neurons limit synaptic inhibition and reduce anxiety-like behavior by modulating K+ currents.

Zona Incerta subpopulations differentially encode and modulate anxiety

The paper identifies ZI subpopulations that encode and modulate different aspects of anxiety through optogenetic manipulations in mice.

Zona Incerta activity dynamics underlying associative fear learning and fear generalization

This study shows that ZI neurons encode fear predictive and non-predictive cues differently based on fear generalization behavior in mice.

Release of stem cells from quiescence reveals multiple gliogenic domains in the adult brain

The paper identifies multiple gliogenic domains in the adult V-SVZ by studying PDGFRβ-expressing NSCs and their release from quiescence.

Midbrain modulation of conditioned learning

This study identifies midbrain GABA and Glutamate neurons' role in encoding conditioned learning through their synaptic inputs to striatal cholinergic interneurons.
