This study shows that an autism-associated ASPM mutation causes macrocephaly and social-cognitive deficits in mice by altering the excitatory-inhibitory neuron ratio.

This study identifies deep prefrontal projection neurons as critical for cognitive flexibility by monitoring behavioral feedback through persistent activity.

This study shows that prelimbic cortex-dependent activation of basolateral amygdala somatostatin interneurons promotes discrimination of non-threatening stimuli by blocking theta-oscillation phase resetting.
