Chronic two-photon calcium imaging, optogenetics, and operant behavioral approaches were leveraged to show that hyperactivity, hyperresponsivity, and hypersynchronization in auditory cortex neural ensembles can account for auditory hypersensitivity following acoustic trauma.

Excitation-inhibition imbalance affects medial prefrontal cortex differently in autistic males versus females.

A fast spiking interneuron sub-type in medial and lateral prefrontal cortex fires and gamma-synchronizes prominently during adaptive learning of reward values when outcomes are uncertain and choice options have similar values.

A panel of serum biomarkers, including dietary and microbial-derived metabolites related to the gut-brain axis, were identified as potential for tracking children at risk of early childhood developmental delays.

Non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the greater occipital nerve using direct current promotes strengthening of memories using late-phase synaptic activity.

Distinct computational levels of uncertainty compel agents to gain information about hidden states in the world (‘active inference’) or optimise their ‘world model’ as such (‘active learning’).

Comprehensive dataset of high-level cognitive assessment in mouse models of neurodegeneration, accompanied by an open-access database/repository to change the paradigm of how cognitive studies in animal models can be shared/re-used.

Alternatively spliced C-terminal protein sequences encoded by the Syngap1 gene exhibit unique biochemical and functional properties in vivo, which explain in part how individual isoforms can promote cognitive functions and seizure protection.

Habit-based theories of obsessive-compulsive disorder are further elucidated by employing mobile phone motor sequence training, for which patients exhibited equivalent automatization, but enhanced value for the trained sequence, potentially ameliorating symptoms.
