Sharp tuning of head direction by somatosensory fast-spiking interneurons
Xiaoyang Long, Bin Deng, Calvin K. Young…·Sheng‐Jia Zhang
The paper characterizes head direction (HD) cells in the somatosensory cortex, finding that fast-spiking inhibitory neurons are sharply tuned to HD and have distinct organizational features.

Basal Ganglia Responses to Electrical Stimulation of the Posterior Hypothalamic Nucleus
Calvin K. Young, Brian H. Bland
This study investigates how electrical stimulation of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus affects basal ganglia activity, finding increased firing rates in some regions and decreased in others.

Anterior thalamic nuclei neurons sustain memory
S.C. Barnett, Louise C. Parr‐Brownlie, Brook A. L. Perry…·John C. Dalrymple‐Alford
This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of anterior thalamic nuclei neurons improves spatial working memory in rats with MTT lesions by enhancing rhythmic activity and gene expression.

Speed modulation of hippocampal theta frequency and power predicts water maze learning
Calvin K. Young, Ming Ruan, Neil McNaughton
The paper shows that variations in hippocampal theta frequency and power related to speed predict spatial learning rates in a water maze task.

Low-dose ethanol produces mixed effects on cortico-hippocampal theta rhythms and modifies hippocampal theta frequency through multiple mechanisms
Calvin K. Young, Neil McNaughton
This study investigates the effects of low-dose ethanol on cortical and hippocampal theta rhythms in rats, finding mixed effects and dose-dependent changes in theta frequency through different mechanisms.
