Generalized prefrontal task-progress sequences efficiently encode task structure

This study shows that prefrontal cortex activity forms task-progress sequences that encode task structure efficiently, with artificial networks replicating this encoding and disruption impairing learning.

Formation of Task Representations and Replay in Mouse Medial Prefrontal Cortex

This study shows that task representations in the mPFC form de novo during learning, with neural sequences involved in evaluating outcomes rather than planning actions.

Coordinated representational drift supports stable place coding in hippocampal CA1

The paper shows that coordinated representational drift in hippocampal CA1 neurons preserves population-level spatial coding stability through translation and rotation in state space, enabling drift correction and stable information readout.

Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 is required for proper pyramidal cell-interneuron communication and network dynamics in the prefrontal cortex.

This study examines the role of Disc1 in prefrontal circuit function in mice, finding reduced interneuron activity and altered network dynamics.

Phase-specific pooling of sparse assembly activity by respiration-related brain oscillations

The paper shows respiration-related oscillations pace neuronal assembly activation in mice mPFC, with assemblies preferentially active during descending phases and minimal overlap due to GABAergic recruitment.

Topographically organized representation of space and context in the medial prefrontal cortex

The paper investigates spatial tuning in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice, finding a topographically organized place code that emerges during spontaneous locomotion and is influenced by hippocampal input gradients.
