Local activation of CA1 pyramidal cells induces theta phase precession

The paper shows that artificial place fields in CA1 pyramidal cells of mice produce synthetic theta phase precession, indicating local generation within CA1.

Wired together, change together: Spike timing modifies transmission in converging assemblies

The paper shows that spike timing in neuronal assemblies affects synaptic connectivity, revealing that whole-cell assembly timing has a greater impact than individual cell pairs.

Positive and biphasic extracellular waveforms correspond to return currents and axonal spikes

The paper identifies non-negative extracellular waveforms in mice brains as return currents and axonal potentials, revealing their association with neural activity and compartments.

Hybrid offspring of C57BL/6J mice exhibit improved properties for neurobehavioral research

The paper describes hybrid mice created by crossing FVB/NJ and C57BL/6J strains, which show improved neurobehavioral traits and maintain performance with age.
