Distinct developmental trajectories of externally- and internally-generated hippocampal sequences and assemblies

The paper investigates the developmental emergence of internal and external hippocampal representations in mice, finding that internal sequences appear at postnatal day 24, following cue-based representations.

Functional networks of inhibitory neurons orchestrate synchrony in the hippocampus

The paper shows that CA1 interneurons form a network promoting synchrony through disinhibition during awake immobility, while preserving endogenous cell assemblies.

Extrinsic control of the early postnatal CA1 hippocampal circuits

This study investigates how extrinsic inputs control early postnatal CA1 hippocampal circuits in mice, showing differential contributions from entorhinal and thalamic pathways to synchronous activity.

CA1 pyramidal cell diversity is rooted in the time of neurogenesis.

The paper examines how the birthdate of CA1 pyramidal neurons correlates with their diversity in the ventral hippocampus, showing that early-born neurons have distinct features.

Hippocampal hub neurons maintain unique functional properties throughout their lifetime

The paper identifies early-born GABA neurons in the hippocampus as lifelong hubs with unique functional properties.
