Excited to share our new Cell Reports paper on paratenial thalamus (PT), which identifies a molecular marker for PT, and shows how PT interacts with the medial prefrontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, and basolateral amygdala, all done by my grad student Nigel Dao: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Huge congrats to @snierwetberg.bsky.social , David (not on BSky), and @maxwellxchen.bsky.social for their paper! They developed a mouse task in which relational structure can be isolated from cue identity and reward statistics. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧠📈🧪 #neuroskyence @uclnpp.bsky.social

Potentiation of active locomotor state by spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons
Fenstermacher et al. map the structure and activity of spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons and show that 5-HT populations are engaged in a context-dependent manner during locomotion. Activation of ...

Excited to share our new J Neurosci paper showing how subcortical inputs are routed through ventromedial (VM) thalamus to layer 1 interneurons in the medial PFC, all done by my graduate student Sanne Casello: sannemcasello.bsky.social www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Thrilled to share our new paper, which shows that the relative timing of cholinergic and dopamine release dynamically gates whether dopamine acts as an RPE for in vivo plasticity and reinforcement learning. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My latest Aronov lab paper is now published @Nature! When a chickadee looks at a distant location, the same place cells activate as if it were actually there 👁️ The hippocampus encodes where the bird is looking, AND what it expects to see next -- enabling spatial reasoning from afar bit.ly/3HvWSum

Functional properties of corticothalamic circuits targeting paraventricular thalamic neurons
The authors show that activation of prelimbic (PL) cortex inputs leads to depolarization block in a subset of anterior paraventricular thalamic (aPVT) neurons. Inhibitory inputs from the anteroventral...

Excited to publish a broad set of enhancers to target interneuron types in the brain, along with a broad set of collaborators. Part of the BI armamentarium. Together this will help revolutionize the targeting of brain circuits.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.17.603924v2

Huge congrats to @karyna-mi.bsky.social for her paper published today in Science! She found that the hippocampus is really important for a key strategy we use to make decisions called hidden state inference! 🧪 🧠https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq5874 1/7

Hidden state inference requires abstract contextual representations in the ventral hippocampus
The ability to use subjective, latent contextual representations to influence decision-making is crucial for everyday life. The hippocampus is hypothesized to bind together otherwise abstract combinat...
