This study investigates the neuro-behavioral effects of striatal disinhibition in rats, finding tic-like movements and increased locomotor activity, but no impact on prepulse inhibition.

This study investigates the role of GABAergic inhibition in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex on novel object recognition in rats, finding that hippocampal inhibition is critical while prefrontal inhibition is not.

This study investigates how medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) hypoactivation and disinhibition affect reversal learning in rats, finding distinct impairments in early and serial reversals.

This paper introduces a probabilistic method to track choice strategies in decision-making tasks at trial resolution, showing it identifies learning and exploratory strategies across species and synthetic agents.

This study shows that dopamine D1-like receptors modulate synchronized oscillations in the hippocampal-prefrontal-amygdala circuit during contextual fear conditioning in rats.

This study investigates cognitive function in rats with OA-like knee pain and finds no evidence of cognitive impairment.

This study investigates how hippocampal disinhibition affects fear conditioning and latent inhibition in rats, finding reduced fear conditioning without impacting latent inhibition acquisition.

This paper reviews reinforcement learning frameworks for modeling hippocampus-dependent spatial navigation in watermaze tasks, discussing their behavioral and neurobiological validity.

The paper uses EEG to show that individual differences in theta-band oscillations during spatial memory tasks correlate with rapid place learning in humans.

The paper examines how hippocampal neural disinhibition affects local field potential oscillations in anaesthetised rats, finding state- and frequency-dependent changes in LFP power and multi-unit bursting.
