The paper investigates how stress-induced plasticity in the amygdala and ventral hippocampus differentially supports non-associative defensive behaviors.

This study shows that strong aversive experiences in mice drive offline reactivation of both recent aversive and older neutral memories, linking them across days.

The paper investigates age-related changes in neuronal excitability in the hippocampus of mice, finding that aged mice show a deficit in ensemble-specific excitability after learning, linked to memory impairment.

This study identifies a mechanism where hippocampal ensembles are remodeled to support memory-updating in mice during spatial reversal tasks.
