Prey capture learning drives critical period-specific plasticity in mouse binocular visual cortex

This study shows that prey capture learning during the critical period in mice enhances visual function through structural plasticity, including increased excitatory connectivity and spine turnover, which is absent in adults.

Cerebral Venous Blood Flow Regulates Brain Fluid Clearance via Dural Lymphatics

This study shows that dural venous stenoses impair lymphatic drainage and brain fluid clearance, and that restoring venous flow can improve clearance in a mouse model.

Interneuron activity-structural plasticity association is driven by context-dependent sensory experience

The paper shows that odor experience correlates individual GC activity with spine stability, driven by MC activity, and models how this supports odor discrimination and memory.
