Astrocyte CB1 receptors are required for inhibitory maturation and ocular dominance plasticity in the mouse visual cortex

This study shows that astrocytic CB1 receptors are essential for inhibitory synaptic maturation and ocular dominance plasticity in the mouse visual cortex, while interneuron CB1Rs are not.

Thalamic regulation of ocular dominance plasticity in adult visual cortex

This study shows that thalamic plasticity, not just cortical plasticity, drives ocular dominance plasticity in adult visual cortex, highlighting the thalamus's role in learning.

The psychotomimetic ketamine disrupts the transfer of late sensory information in the corticothalamic network

This study investigates how ketamine affects sensory-induced beta/gamma oscillations and information transfer in the corticothalamic network in rats, linking these effects to schizophrenia-like symptoms.

Sleep-related thalamocortical spindles and delta oscillations are reduced during a ketamine-induced psychosis-relevant transition state.

This paper investigates how ketamine affects sleep spindles and delta oscillations in rats, finding reduced spindles and delta waves with increased gamma oscillations and altered neuronal firing patterns.
