NPAS4 refines spatial and temporal firing in CA1 pyramidal neurons

Anja Payne, Daniel A Heinz, Chiaki I. Santiago, Lara Louise Hagopian, Rolando Sceptre Ganasi, Clare R. Quirk, Andrea L. Hartzell, Jill K. Leutgeb, Stefan Leutgeb, Brenda L. Bloodgood

This study shows that NPAS4 deletion in CA1 pyramidal neurons impairs spatial representation and temporal precision of spiking.

Convergent, functionally independent signaling by mu and delta opioid receptors in hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons

Xinyi Jenny He, Janki Patel, Connor E. Weiss, Xiang Ma, Brenda L. Bloodgood, Matthew R. Banghart

The paper shows that mu and delta opioid receptors in hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons signal independently despite convergent and redundant pathways.
