A computational study quantifies how macroscopic grid-like representations may emerge in the human brain using different hypotheses and navigation patterns, indicating the need to further characterize properties of grid cells.

As mice learn to associate events separated in time, neurons within the CA1 region of the hippocampus progressively reorganize their firing patterns, leading to a relay of cellular activity that bridges the two events.

Marmoset monkeys develop their vocal behavior prior to their postural and locomotor skills, but the coordination of these two motor systems emerges gradually via changes in arousal level.

Electrophysiology and optogenetic circuit manipulation in the mouse visual system reveal that corticothalamic feedback and behavioral state both have robust modulatory, yet largely independent influences on thalamic responses to naturalistic movies.

By recording simultaneous spike trains from fear-responsive basal amygdala (BA) and place-responsive dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) neurons in rats foraging for food in a risky predatory situation, a novel BA-dHPC circuit coding mechanism for interfacing danger and place information was revealed.

Mice can use self-motion cues to learn a cognitive map thereby permitting them to take shortcut trajectories in an open maze without requiring prior experience of such routes.

A molecular genetics study reveals an accessory olfactory-to-hypothalamic circuit in mice that optimizes defensive behaviors according to the imminence of predator threats.

Tetrode recordings show that the amplitude of gamma oscillations encodes for information on contextual odorant identity when observed at the peak phase of the theta oscillation in the olfactory bulb.
