Slow Intrinsic Oscillations in the Ventrolateral Preoptic nucleus

The paper identifies rhythmic bursting in a subset of VLPO neurons, showing it is intrinsic and may contribute to sleep regulation.

Thyroid hormones maintain parvalbumin neuron functions in the mouse neocortex

This study shows that thyroid hormones are essential for maintaining the function of mature parvalbumin neurons in the mouse neocortex, affecting behavior, sleep, and neural oscillations.

Hippocampal reactivation of aversive experience enables safety learning and slow-breathing state for recovery from stress

The paper identifies a slow-breathing recovery state in mice after threat avoidance, linked to hippocampal replay of aversive experiences and impaired by SWR suppression.

Social defeat induces REM sleep fragmentation through the PFC-VLPO pathway

This study shows that the PFC-VLPO pathway regulates REM sleep fragmentation in response to social defeat stress.

Lactate is a major energy substrate for cortical neurons and enhances their firing activity.

The paper shows lactate enhances cortical neuron spiking activity through KATP channels and is preferentially used as an energy substrate over glucose.
