A biophysical model of striatal microcircuits suggests gamma and beta oscillations interleaved at delta/theta frequencies mediate periodicity in motor control

This paper proposes a biophysical model of striatal microcircuits showing how dopamine modulates gamma and beta oscillations interleaved at delta/theta frequencies to enable periodic motor control.

Hippocampal circuit abnormalities in MeCP2+/- mouse model of Rett syndrome

The paper investigates hippocampal circuit abnormalities in MeCP2+/- mice, finding hyperexcitability during the prodromal phase of Rett syndrome.

Octopamine release impairs courtship conditioning in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that octopamine release during courtship training in Drosophila reduces the aversive impact of failed mating, leading to less suppression of courtship behavior.
