CICADA provides a unified framework for analyzing neurophysiological data in the NWB format, supporting both GUI-driven and programmatic workflows with modular analysis plugins.

The paper investigates the developmental emergence of internal and external hippocampal representations in mice, finding that internal sequences appear at postnatal day 24, following cue-based representations.

This study investigates how extrinsic inputs control early postnatal CA1 hippocampal circuits in mice, showing differential contributions from entorhinal and thalamic pathways to synchronous activity.

The paper shows that in mouse hippocampus, CA1 pyramidal cells switch from being activated to inhibited by self-motion around postnatal day 7, linked to increased local GABAergic innervation.

DeepCINAC is a deep learning toolbox for inferring neuronal activity from calcium imaging data, achieving human-level performance and better F1 scores than existing methods.

The paper shows that long axonal conduction delays in HVC neurons are necessary for precise millisecond timing of neural sequences during song production.
