The paper shows that low-dimensional geometric subspaces in mPFC neural activity encode social memory of multiple individuals based on their social valence.

The paper investigates how early visual experience reshapes microcircuit connectivity in the mouse visual cortex during the critical period, identifying specific synaptic changes in inhibitory neurons that underlie plasticity.

This paper develops NEMO, a new suite of calcium indicators with higher sensitivity and dynamic range than existing GECIs, enabling better detection of calcium transients in neurons and other cells.

The paper models how non-uniform inhibition from PV+ interneurons shapes orientation selectivity in V1 during development, matching environmental features through circuit plasticity.

This study identifies TCF7L2 as a molecular switch in the midbrain that controls vocalization through transcriptional repression, showing its role in neuronal gene expression and synaptic transmission.
