Neuropeptide Y co-opts neuronal ensembles for memory lability and stability

The paper identifies NPY+ interneurons in the ventral hippocampus that regulate memory extinction through distinct sub-ensembles via fast and slow inhibition.

Post-weaning social isolation impairs the orbitofrontal cortical circuit subserving contagious pain and prosocial behaviors

This study shows that post-weaning social isolation impairs empathic behaviors in mice by disrupting glutamatergic signaling in the orbitofrontal cortex.

Dynamic tripartite construct of interregional engram circuits underlies forgetting of extinction memory

The paper shows that forgetting of extinction memory involves a dynamic shift in the connectivity of engram circuits between the mPFC, BLA, and vHPC.
