The paper identifies Relaxin-3-expressing neurons in the zebrafish PAG that are activated by darkness and contribute to behavioral responses.

This paper develops a virtual reality-based contextual fear conditioning paradigm for head-fixed mice, demonstrating freezing behavior and hippocampal CA1 neuron remapping similar to freely moving animals.

This study shows that reward expectation reduces representational drift in the hippocampus by maintaining reliable place fields across days.

The paper shows that lower spatial precision in place cells during an episode predicts remapping or vanishing of place fields in subsequent episodes.

The paper investigates the role of the NR-CA1 pathway in contextual fear memory retrieval, finding that it suppresses fear responses by disrupting memory retrieval.

The paper investigates neural circuits in zebrafish larvae responding to a chemosensory danger cue, identifying brain regions involved in state transitions and their potential role in stress-related disorders.

This study shows that reward expectation alters place cell dynamics and enhances spatial memory encoding and retrieval in the hippocampus.

This study tests the use of GtACR1 and GtACR2 anion channelrhodopsins in zebrafish to optically inhibit neurons and assess neural circuit necessity.

The paper identifies a thalamic nucleus that mediates habenula responses to changes in illumination using calcium imaging and optogenetics in zebrafish.
