This study shows that endogenous oxytocin alters brain network dynamics, increasing salience-related network states and decreasing sensory-dominated states in mice.

The paper shows that potentiated dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons are spatially distributed differently during memory encoding and recall phases.

This study shows that a transient developmental excitation-inhibition imbalance causes lasting social brain circuit dysfunction in mice, with behavioral and transcriptional consequences.

The paper shows that adult mice and human neurons have heterogeneous GABAergic responses, with DS mice showing higher depolarizing responses and behavioral rescue upon normalization.

This study creates a rat model with focal mosaic Pcdh19 expression, replicating brain developmental abnormalities and behaviors seen in human EIEE9.

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in a mouse model of retinal degeneration to preserve visual function, showing improved acuity and preserved light responses.

The paper introduces Beatrix, a tool to amplify weak Cre activity for generating and detecting genetic mosaics in vivo.
