The paper investigates hippocampal responses to sound in mice, finding that broadband noise onsets activate a large proportion of hippocampal neurons.

This study shows that transplanting MGE-derived interneurons into adult mouse visual cortex induces ocular dominance plasticity, with activity and response tuning influenced by host locomotor state.

The paper investigates whether visual responses in auditory cortex arise from movement artifacts or true cross-modal processing, finding that visual stimuli rarely evoke face movements and optogenetic silencing of visual cortex suppresses auditory cortex responses.

The paper generates Sst-Cre and Vip-Cre mouse lines on the CBA background to avoid age-related hearing loss, confirmed by auditory brainstem response testing.

The paper shows that deletion of the Pcdhγc4 isoform increases cortical interneuron cell death, while viral expression rescues it, highlighting its critical role in regulating survival during programmed cell death.

This study shows that reducing the h-current in pyramidal cells increases recurrent network activity and alters dendrosomatic communication.

This study shows that audiovisual task switching modulates sound encoding in mouse auditory cortex by reducing spiking activity while maintaining decoding accuracy.

The paper examines how visual stimuli modulate auditory cortex neuron activity in mice, finding distinct effects across cortical layers and response types.

This study identifies Pcdh-γ cluster genes as critical regulators of programmed cell death in cortical interneurons through cell-autonomous and non-cell autonomous mechanisms.

The paper shows that transplanted inhibitory neurons induce but do not maintain ocular dominance plasticity in the host visual cortex.

The paper shows that somatostatin-positive interneurons regulate forward suppression in auditory cortex, while parvalbumin-positive interneurons affect its frequency dependence.
