Conserved inhibitory motifs yield distinct hippocampal functions through regional circuit embedding

The paper shows that OLM2 interneurons in different hippocampal regions have distinct functions based on their connectivity, influencing behavior and emotional responses differently.

The DREAM implant: A Lightweight, Modular and Cost-Effective Implant System for Chronic Electrophysiology in Head-fixed and Freely Behaving Mice

The paper introduces a cost-effective, modular implant system for chronic electrophysiology in mice, improving ease of use, recovery, and experimental versatility.

5-MeO-DMT induces sleep-like LFP spectral signatures in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of awake rats

This study shows that 5-MeO-DMT induces sleep-like LFP patterns in awake rats' hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, independent of locomotion and theta power changes.

Characterizing neural phase-space trajectories via Principal Louvain Clustering

This paper introduces Principal Louvain Clustering to identify consistent neural phase-space clusters in low-dimensional subspaces from LFP recordings, showing behavior-related modulation.

Anterior cingulate cortex hypofunction causes anti-social aggression in mice

This study shows that ACC hypofunction in mice leads to anti-social aggression, with chemogenetic activation of ACC reducing this behavior.

Large- and multi-scale networks in the rodent brain during novelty exploration

The paper analyzes neural activity across multiple scales in mice during exploration, identifying reproducible but variable large-scale networks across brain regions.

Low-cost and versatile electrodes for extracellular chronic recordings in rodents

The paper describes low-cost, custom-designed electrodes for chronic extracellular recordings in rodents and demonstrates their ability to record local field potentials.

Beta2 oscillations in the hippocampal-cortical novelty detection circuit

This study investigates beta2 oscillations in the hippocampal-cortical circuit during novelty detection in mice, finding that beta2 power increases specifically during novel contexts and shows coupling with delta oscillations and cortical coherence.
