The ovarian cycle and estradiol modulate cortical network state and auditory entrainment in mice and women

This study shows that estradiol modulates cortical network states and auditory entrainment in mice and humans across the ovarian cycle.

Prefrontal representations can specialize rather thangeneralize with experience

The paper shows that prefrontal cortex representations become specialized for specific task demands rather than generalizing with experience.

The scaling behavior of hippocampal activity in sleep/rest predicts spatial memory performance

The paper shows that the scaling exponent of hippocampal activity during sleep/rest predicts spatial memory performance independently of reactivation.

Sleep stages antagonistically modulate reactivation drift

The paper tracks hippocampal reactivation patterns during sleep and finds that REM and NREM sleep have opposing effects on the reorganization of spatial assemblies.

Learning reshapes the hippocampal representation hierarchy

This study shows that the hippocampus maintains a hierarchical representation structure during learning but modifies lower-level representations to improve context decoding and learning efficiency.

Phase-locking of hippocampal CA3 neurons to distal CA1 theta oscillations selectively predicts memory performance

This study shows that CA3 neuronal spiking synchronized with distal CA1 theta oscillations predicts memory performance in a non-spatial recognition task.

The structure of hippocampal CA1 interactions optimizes spatial coding across experience

The paper reveals structured cell-to-cell interactions in hippocampal CA1 that optimize spatial coding in familiar and novel environments through statistical modeling and maximum entropy frameworks.

Entorhinal layer 6b subplate neurons govern spatial learning and memory

This study identifies a functional role for entorhinal layer 6b subplate neurons in spatial learning and memory by showing their connectivity and impact on hippocampal activity.

The generalized spatial representation in the prefrontal cortex is inherited from the hippocampus

The paper shows that generalized spatial coding in the prefrontal cortex is inherited from hippocampal spatial representations, with dynamic information routing during spatial decision-making.
