The paper maps anatomical input-output streams in mouse orbitofrontal cortex subdivisions, revealing connectivity patterns and functional roles in decision-making and emotional reactivity.

This study shows that OGT regulates excitatory synaptic plasticity in PVN CaMKII neurons, linking metabolic state to satiation signaling through changes in synaptic input resistance and activity during feeding and hunger.

The paper identifies somatostatine interneurons as key mediators of dopamine-dependent sensory gating in the orbitofrontal cortex, showing their role in suppressing the second response to paired sounds.

The paper introduces Rubik, a fluorescent reporter that tracks Cre and Flp recombination sequences and enables optogenetic control through temporal recombination events.

The paper shows that holographic infrared stimulation in mouse cortex reduces spike rates in non-target neurons via potassium channel gating, independent of GABA.

This paper shows blue light stimulation produces similar visual responses in mouse V1 as white light, without contaminating calcium signals in two-photon imaging.
