The paper examines how experience transforms olfactory representations along the cortico-hippocampal pathway in mice, showing increased odorant selectivity and population-level representations in hippocampal structures.

The paper shows that dopamine neurons are activated by orienting behaviors, not novelty itself, and identifies the mediodorsal pons as a key input source for this activation.

This study investigates how the anterior olfactory nucleus (AON) and anterior piriform cortex (aPCx) contribute to novelty-evoked exploration in mice, finding that AON mediates immediate reactions to novel odors while aPCx supports stable odor memory.

This paper develops microfluidic interfaces for chronic fluid access to the brain in mice, enabling precise injection and long-term sampling of CSF and biomarkers.

The paper introduces Neuropixels 2.0, a high-density probe for long-term brain recordings, and demonstrates its stability across months in multiple labs and species.
