The paper investigates how norepinephrine modulates synaptic transmission from the basolateral amygdala to the mediodorsal thalamus, revealing its role in suppressing affective information transfer during stress.

This study shows that cortical SST and PV interneurons have opposing roles in regulating retinogeniculate connectivity during thalamic refinement.

The paper investigates information transfer at the mouse retinogeniculate synapse and finds that dLGN neurons primarily relay input from specific RGC populations, supporting a labeled line model.

The paper shows that experience during development shapes feature-selectivity in the mouse primary visual thalamus, independent of cortical feedback and dependent on retinogeniculate refinement.

This study shows that arousal modulates visual responses in retinal axons of awake mice, with differential effects based on stimulus frequency, spatial location, and motion direction.
