New preprint 📣 Do you use the @alleninstitute.org mouse brain connectome? In work led by Vikram Nathan we found issues with existing connectome representations, fixed them, showed the impact on connectome measures. Do you wonder what they are? Do you wonder what they do? tinyurl.com/5y9mft4e

Maturation of hippocampus-medial prefrontal cortex projections defines a pathway-specific sensitive period for cognitive flexibility
Cruz-Sanchez et al. show that the maturation trajectory of ventral and intermediate hippocampus-medial prefrontal cortex connectivity displays distinct anatomical and synaptic developmental signatures...

Examining the Three‐Dimensional Spatial Architecture of Mouse Amygdala Engram Ensembles
Memories are stored in a sparse population of neurons active at the time of an event, an engram ensemble, and reactivation of the engram ensemble drives memory recall. Although the amygdala is essent...
