This study shows psilocybin improves cognitive flexibility in mice with specific circuit-level deficits, depending on the cause, and identifies cellular mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects.

This study identifies a cell type-specific mechanism in the prefrontal cortex that underlies the rapid antidepressant effects of a specific rTMS protocol in a mouse model.

This study shows that microglia are essential for excitatory synapse formation in the nucleus accumbens during early development, impacting threat avoidance behaviors in adulthood.

The paper maps brain-wide projections of mPFC neurons and identifies their specialized roles in threat avoidance using new computational tools.
