Neurons can synchronize, supporting flexible communication among brain areas; closed-loop optogenetics allows the frequency and power of population oscillations to be dissociated, providing a tool to interrogate how networks couple.
Pyramidal cells of the subiculum, a major output cell type of the hippocampus, can be deconstructed into distinct subtypes that exhibit a patchwork-like organization in space.
A combination of optogenetics and 2-photon calcium imaging reveals spatial prerequisites for non-linear synaptic summation within a defined cortical connection.
Combining compartment- and cell-type specific transcriptomic approaches reveals FMRP regulation of synaptic regulators in the dendrites and chromatin regulators in the cell bodies of CA1 neurons.

Sizes of synapses between layer 2/3 pyramidal cells in mouse primary visual cortex are well modeled by the sum of a binary variable and an analog variable drawn from a log-normal distribution.
A neural circuit between layer 2/3 pyramidal cells and somatostatin-expressing inhibitory neurons synchronizes spatially separated regions of the visual cortex to gamma rhythms.
In a mouse model of psychiatric illness, the neuronal network of the medial prefrontal cortex is characterized by reduced activity levels of interneurons, impaired gamma oscillations, and altered activation of cell assemblies.
The loss of lamination in mammalian brain structures under cellular heterotopia carries with it non-uniform ramifications for the various components of the canonical CA1 microcircuitry.

The combination of juxtacellular recordings with optogenetics in freely moving mice enables the targeting of genetically defined cell classes for high-resolution, single-cell structure–function analysis.

Short, theta-bursts of action potential firing decrease the global excitability of CA1 pyramidal neurons, providing an internal mechanism which could regulate their allocation to memory engrams.
