Acetylcholine modulates prefrontal outcome coding during threat learning under uncertainty

This study shows acetylcholine in the medial prefrontal cortex modulates how mice encode unexpected outcomes during threat learning, affecting decision-making under uncertainty.

Lateral entorhinal cortex suppresses drift in cortical memory representations.

The paper shows that lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) activity stabilizes cortical memory representations, preventing drift during repeated memory retrieval in rats.

Prefrontal neural ensembles develop selective code for stimulus associations within minutes of novel experiences.

The paper shows that prelimbic neurons rapidly form ensemble codes for novel stimulus associations within minutes of first encountering an aversive stimulus.
