The paper introduces a novel MRI-compatible microscope to simultaneously record single-cell calcium activity and whole-brain BOLD fMRI in awake mice, revealing vascular-dependent neural activity patterns.

This study shows that hippocampal CA1 coding changes during categorization training in mice, with factorized representations of choice and outcome variables improving behavioral performance.

This study investigates whether visual observation of maternal behavior is sufficient for pup retrieval in pup-naive virgin mice, finding no significant difference in retrieval success between visual access and barrier conditions.

This study shows that inhibiting oxytocin receptor neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex promotes sociosexual behavior in female mice by regulating pyramidal neuron activity during decision-making.

This study uses calcium imaging in mice to identify population-level neural activity in the medial prefrontal cortex during avoidance learning, showing that avoidance-related activity predicts behavior and distinguishes between different learned actions.

This study identifies striatum-projecting prefrontal cortex neurons as critical for spatial working memory maintenance in mice.

This study shows that inhibiting CA2 neurons in mice reduces the temporal and informational precision of CA1 ensemble reactivation during sharp-wave ripples.

This study identifies how hypothalamic SuM input modulates hippocampal CA2 circuitry, enhancing firing precision and influencing CA1 activity through synchronized inhibition.

The paper introduces a viral tool for fast retrograde labeling of projection neurons in songbirds and mice, enabling detailed analysis of vocal learning circuits.
