Spacing effect improves generalization in biological and artificial systems

This study introduces a bio-inspired spacing effect into neural networks and validates it in Drosophila, showing improved generalization through spaced intervals and innate variations.

Interrogation of single-neuron functional connectivity in the cortex and hippocampus via fast cross-layer all-optical physiology

This paper introduces a cross-layer all-optical physiology system for mapping and modifying inter-layer neuronal connectivity in live mice.

Differential Conditioning Produces Merged Long-term Memory in Drosophila

This study shows that a single trial of aversive differential conditioning in Drosophila produces a merged long-term memory for both conditioned and non-conditioned stimuli.

Adult newborn granule cells confer emotional-state-dependent plasticity in memory retrieval

The paper shows adult newborn granule cells mediate emotional-state-dependent plasticity in memory retrieval, with social reward enhancing and stress weakening memory reactivation.
