Coordinated activity and plasticity of infralimbic cortex GABAergic interneurons are critical for fear extinction encoding

The paper identifies the role of infralimbic cortex GABAergic interneurons in fear extinction encoding through circuit mechanisms involving parvalbumin and somatostatin interneurons.

Locus Coeruleus Norepinephrine Neurons Facilitate Orbitofrontal Cortex Remapping and Behavioral Flexibility

This study shows that locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons regulate orbitofrontal cortex cognitive map stability and behavioral flexibility through bidirectional signaling.

Divergent risky decision-making and impulsivity behaviors in two Lewis substrains of rats with low genetic difference

The paper compares risky decision-making and impulsivity between two Lewis rat substrains, finding significant phenotypic differences linked to genetic variants.
