A novel, complex-spike burst-dependent form of BCM-like metaplasticity regulates the induction of behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity

The paper investigates how inducing behavioral timescale plasticity (BTSP) at one set of synapses affects plasticity at other synapses, revealing a burst-dependent form of BCM-like metaplasticity.

NMDA receptor-dependent Hebbian plasticity refines hippocampal spatial representations during two-dimensional navigation learning

This study shows that NMDA receptor-dependent synaptic plasticity is essential for refining hippocampal spatial representations during two-dimensional navigation learning.

β-adrenergic receptor activation modulates the induction of complex spike burst-dependent LTP by regulating multiple forms of heterosynaptic plasticity

This study investigates how β-adrenergic receptor activation modulates complex spike burst-dependent LTP by regulating heterosynaptic plasticity in mouse hippocampal slices.

A brain atlas of synapse protein lifetime across the mouse lifespan.

The paper quantifies PSD95 protein lifetime in mouse synapses across lifespan and brain regions, revealing distinct patterns linked to development, behavior, and aging.

Chemogenetic modulation and single-photon calcium imaging in anterior cingulate cortex reveal a mechanism for effort-based decisions

This study uses chemogenetics and calcium imaging in rats to show that anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) discriminates between reward options, influencing effort-based decisions.

Dissociable roles for Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Basolateral Amygdala in Decision Confidence and Learning under Uncertainty

This study investigates the roles of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and basolateral amygdala (BLA) in decision confidence and learning under uncertainty using a rat behavioral task.
