The paper investigates how serotonin modulates slow oscillations in the entorhinal cortex and identifies somatostatin interneurons activated by 5-HT2A receptor as key suppressors of these oscillations in anesthetized mice.

The paper identifies a subiculum-retrosplenial pathway that propagates hippocampal ripples to the neocortex, revealing brain state-dependent coupling and specific neuronal mechanisms.

This study shows RIM-BP2 has different roles in neurotransmitter release at hippocampal mossy fiber and pyramidal CA3-CA1 synapses, with RIM-BP2 promoting vesicle docking/priming at mossy fibers by recruiting Munc13-1.

This study shows that the estrus-cycle modulates cortical inhibition in female rats by altering fast-spiking interneuron activity via estrogen receptor β.

The paper identifies VGLUT2 as a marker gene for subicular burst-firing neurons and shows its use in connectivity analysis with VGLUT2-Cre mice.

The paper identifies a PRG1 mutation that modifies SCN1A-related epilepsy in humans by exacerbating seizure susceptibility in a mouse model.
