This study investigates the long-term effects of early-life seizures on hippocampal-prefrontal network function and behavior in rats, finding impaired connectivity and altered neurotransmission linked to cognitive and psychiatric-like symptoms.

This study investigates how dopamine modulates hippocampal-prefrontal network synchrony in rats, finding that dopamine dose-dependently increases theta synchrony without requiring specific receptor subtype activation.

The paper uses machine learning to decode fear, safety, approach, and avoidance states from brain-wide theta oscillations in rats during stress-related tasks.

The paper develops and validates an open-source ripple detection plugin for the Open Ephys GUI to improve reproducibility in closed-loop systems.

The paper identifies a hippocampal-prefrontal network theta activity pattern that predicts learned resistance to stress in rats.

The paper shows that reduced synchrony in PV interneurons and excitatory neurons increases broadband gamma power, and that this effect differs between genetic PV deficiency and ketamine-induced changes.

This study shows that long-term potentiation (LTP) prevents ketamine-induced changes in electrophysiological dynamics in the hippocampus-prefrontal cortex pathway in rats.

This study shows that nonconscious visual stimuli enhance auditory pitch learning and alters brain connectivity between visual and auditory cortices.
