Enrichment experience improves hippocampal sparse coding via inhibitory circuit plasticity

Eakterina Verdiyan, Stylianos Kouvaros, Joana I. Gomes, Josef Bischofberger

This study shows that environmental enrichment increases hippocampal sparse coding by strengthening inhibitory feedback through SOM interneurons, improving memory performance.

A single dose of the antipsychotic drug clozapine has long-term behavioral and functional effects in mice

Leonardo Lupori, Matthias Heindorf, Stylianos Kouvaros, Alice Schildkamp, Josef Bischofberger, Georg B. Keller

A single dose of clozapine in mice causes long-term behavioral and functional changes in the cortex, lasting up to 9 days, affecting specific neuron subsets and inhibitory circuits.

Sparsification of AP firing in adult-born hippocampal granule cells via voltage-dependent α5-GABAA receptors

Meredith Lodge, Maria‐Clemencia Hernandez, Jan Michael Schulz, Josef Bischofberger

The paper investigates how voltage-dependent α5-GABAA receptors in adult-born hippocampal granule cells contribute to sparse AP firing through nonlinear GABAergic inhibition.
