This study uses artificial hibernation to show that neural network reorganization can occur without functional impairment and may prevent pathological state progression.

This study uses a mouse model of artificial hibernation to show that specific synaptic engram structures are preserved despite widespread spine and synapse elimination, suggesting their role in long-term memory retention.

This study investigates how cholinergic interneurons in the dorsomedial striatum influence social hierarchy dynamics in male mice by examining winner-loser effects on social ranking.

This study shows that silencing newborn neurons in the dentate gyrus disrupts the excitation/inhibition balance in the dorsal hippocampus, impairing cognitive flexibility in mice.
