This study investigates how head direction cells adapt to unilateral vestibular loss in rats, revealing cell-type-specific changes in directional coding.

This study examines how neural activity in the rat striatum changes during learning, showing distinct coding dynamics in DMS and DLS that correlate with behavioral performance.

This study compares spatial coding in the retrosplenial cortex and hippocampus of rats navigating multi-room environments, finding distinct coding strategies that support flexible navigation.

This study investigates the role of dorsal striatum subregions in response conflict management using a Simon task in rats, finding that both DMS and DLS lesions impair performance, especially with task practice.

This study uses a conflict task in rats to reveal cognitive control mechanisms similar to those in humans and children, bridging evolutionary and developmental perspectives.
