Robust learning-driven structural and functional plasticity of spines in the mature mouse cortex

Mona Fariborzi, Delaney G Eaves, Lara Y. Demir, Yuxi Wu, Adam Skeens, Martin Hruska, Adema Ribic

This study shows that learning increases spine complexity and formation in adult mice, while reducing spine size, and that spine response discriminability predicts learning performance.

Divergent Representation and Processing of Task Cues in Sensory and Prefrontal Cortices of Preterm-Born Mice

Emily McCoy, Vyshnavi Pendala, Mona Fariborzi, Lara Y. Demir, Olivia Buell, Sam Fedde, Jacqueline Stinger, Luciano Elbaum, Troy D. Holsworth, Phillip Amenyo-Awude, Xin Tong, Adema Ribic

This study examines how preterm birth affects task cue processing in sensory and prefrontal circuits of mice, finding impaired prefrontal function and limited improvement from environmental enrichment.

Ketamine disrupts neuromodulatory control of glutamatergic synaptic transmission.

György Lür, Mona Fariborzi, Michael J. Higley

This study shows that ketamine reduces RGS4 expression, disrupting neuromodulatory control of glutamatergic synapses in the prefrontal cortex of mice.
