Seizures in a Dravet Syndrome mouse model inhibit the locus coeruleus but locally evoke supraphysiologic norepinephrine release

The paper investigates NE release during seizures in a Dravet Syndrome mouse model, finding inhibited LC-NE neuron activity but increased NE release in downstream regions.

Medial septum parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons are impaired in a mouse model of Dravet Syndrome

This study identifies impaired parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons in the medial septum of Scn1a+/- mice, a model of Dravet Syndrome, suggesting a potential contribution to cognitive deficits.

Interneuron-targeted disruption of SYNGAP1 alters sensory representations in neocortex and impairs sensory learning

This study shows that reducing SYNGAP1 in inhibitory interneurons disrupts sensory representations in the neocortex and causes learning deficits in mice.

A cortico-cortical pathway targets inhibitory interneurons and modulates paw movement during locomotion in mice

This study identifies a cortico-cortical pathway in mice that targets inhibitory interneurons in non-whisker S1 areas and modulates hind paw movement during locomotion.

Causal role for sleep-dependent reactivation of learning-activated sensory ensembles for fear memory consolidation

The paper shows that sleep-associated reactivation of visual engram neurons in mice is necessary for fear memory consolidation.
