This study compares the role of L-type calcium channels in tonic and phasic calcium dynamics between SNc and PPN neurons, finding distinct contributions to calcium signaling in these cell types.

This study investigates how developmental changes in mPFC circuits influence behavioral strategies in juvenile, adolescent, and adult mice by manipulating and monitoring brain activity during threat responses.

The paper maps brain-wide projections of mPFC neurons and identifies their specialized roles in threat avoidance using new computational tools.
