Cell-type-specific sustained value representations in the claustrum

The paper identifies two distinct neuron populations in the claustrum that encode reward rate and influence decision-making through graded activity patterns.

Cell-type-selective synaptogenesis during the development of excitatory connectivity in the mammalian neocortex

The paper shows that L6CThN neurons form functional synapses preferentially onto PV interneurons, establishing cell-type-specific excitatory connections in the neocortex.

A consensus definition for deep layer 6 excitatory neurons in mouse neocortex

The paper defines deep layer 6 excitatory neurons in mouse neocortex by comparing molecular, transcriptional, morphological, and transgenic approaches, identifying a core population with distinct connectivity and developmental properties.

Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors govern PV neuron feature selectivity

This study shows that calcium-permeable AMPA receptors (CP-AMPARs) in PV interneurons reduce their feature selectivity, and removing them increases selectivity in visual cortex and hippocampus.

Microglial cannabinoid receptor type1 mediates social memory deficits produced by adolescent THC exposure and 16p11.2 duplication

This study shows that adolescent THC exposure causes microglial apoptosis in the mPFC, which is worsened by 16p11.2 duplication, leading to social memory deficits via microglial Cnr1.

Control of neurogenic competence in mammalian hypothalamic tanycytes.

This study identifies NFI factors as repressors of tanycyte-derived neurogenesis and shows their disruption promotes proliferation and neurogenesis in the hypothalamus.

Variation in neuronal activity state, axonal projection target, and position principally define the transcriptional identity of individual neocortical projection neurons.
