Cortical Serotonin Type 2A Receptor Activation Shields Episodic-like Memories from Retroactive Interference in Rodents

This study shows that activating serotonin 2A receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex prevents retroactive interference in rodents by enhancing memory access rather than erasing memory traces.

Dorso-ventral hippocampus neural assemblies reactivate during sleep following an aversive experience

This study shows that dorso-ventral hippocampal assemblies reactivate during sleep after aversive experiences, with higher fidelity compared to rewarding experiences.

Behavioral, molecular and neuronal mechanisms involved in recognition memory retrieval under degraded spatial cues in the rat hippocampus

This study investigates how degraded spatial cues affect recognition memory retrieval in the rat hippocampus, showing that NMDAR activity in specific circuits modulates memory retrieval under different cue conditions.

Hippocampal-Prefrontal cortex network dynamics predict performance during retrieval in a context-guided object memory task

The paper shows that increased vHPC-mPFC synchronization and mPFC ensemble activity predict performance in a context-guided object memory task in rats.

Dentate gyrus somatostatin cells are required for contextual discrimination during episodic memory encoding

This study shows that somatostatin neurons in the dentate gyrus are essential for pattern separation during episodic memory encoding by modulating excitability and discrimination of similar environments in mice.
