    Sub-type specific connectivity between CA3 pyramidal neurons may underlie their sequential activation during sharp waves

    Rosanna P Sammons, Stefano Masserini ... Dietmar Schmitz
    The asymmetric connectivity between thorny and athorny pyramidal neurons in the CA3 region is the key in maintaining the separation of peak firing during sharp wave events.

    Progressively shifting patterns of co-modulation among premotor cortex neurons carry dynamically similar signals during action execution and observation

    Zhonghao Zhao, Marc H Schieber
    Population trajectories of premotor cortex mirror neurons progress through distinct subspaces during execution versus observation of reach-grasp-manipulate movements, yet latent dynamics can be aligned, indicating similar relationships among neural representations.

    Syngap1 regulates the synaptic drive and membrane excitability of Parvalbumin-positive interneurons in mouse auditory cortex

    Ruggiero Francavilla, Bidisha Chattopadhyaya ... Graziella Di Cristo
    Syngap1 haploinsufficiency, which is associated with intellectual disability, epilepsy, and other cognitive and behavioral impairments, reduces the firing and excitatory drive of cortical interneurons.
