Sex-specific exploration accounts for differences in valence learning in male and female mice

This study shows that sex differences in valence learning in mice are due to baseline exploratory behavior rather than inherent learning differences, highlighting the importance of mixed-valence paradigms.

Cell-type specific transcriptional modulation by psilocybin induces sustained plasticity in mouse medial prefrontal cortex

This study shows psilocybin induces cell-type specific transcriptional changes in mouse medial prefrontal cortex, with sustained neuroplastic effects mediated by 5-HT2C signaling in L5/6 NP neurons.

Data-driven analysis identifies female-specific social modulation deficit after chronic social defeat stress

The paper identifies female-specific deficits in social modulation after chronic stress using data-driven analysis and proposes a new metric for assessing resilience in female mice.

Effects of early life adversity on immediate early gene expression: systematic review and 3-level meta-analysis of rodent studies

This study reviews 39 rodent studies on early-life adversity's effects on immediate-early gene expression, finding that ELA increases cFos expression under specific conditions.

Stimulus-specific plasticity in human visual gamma-band activity and functional connectivity

The paper shows that repeated visual stimuli cause stimulus-specific changes in gamma-band activity and functional connectivity in human visual cortex, with effects persisting after a delay.

The mouse brain after foot-shock in 4D: temporal dynamics at a single cell resolution

The paper develops a pipeline to analyze whole-brain immediate early gene expression after foot-shock, revealing temporal dynamics in cellular activity across brain regions.
