The paper investigates how synaptic strength and short-term plasticity interact at retinogeniculate synapses in mice, finding an inverse relationship where strong synapses depress and weak ones facilitate.

The paper identifies sustained freezing during prolonged threat memory retrieval as an anxiety-endophenotype biomarker in both male and female inbred mice, with sex-specific transcriptomic differences in brain regions associated with psychiatric disorders.
