Theories and models of working memory (WM) were at least since the mid-1990s dominated
by the persistent activity hypothesis. The past decade has seen rising concerns about the …

The adaptive regulation of fear memories is a crucial neural function that prevents
inappropriate fear expression. Fear memories can be acquired through contextual fear …

Glial cells account for between 50% and 90% of all human brain cells, and serve a variety of
important developmental, structural, and metabolic functions. Recent experimental efforts …

Learning and memory rely on synapses changing their strengths in response to neural
activity. However, there is a substantial gap between the timescales of neural electrical …

Behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP) is a type of non-Hebbian synaptic plasticity
reported to underlie place field formation. Despite this important function, the molecular …

Kalium channelrhodopsin 1 from Hyphochytrium catenoides (Hc KCR1) is a light-gated
channel used for optogenetic silencing of mammalian neurons. It selects K+ over Na+ in the …

High-speed wide-field fluorescence microscopy has the potential to capture biological
processes with exceptional spatiotemporal resolution. However, conventional cameras …

Encoding an event in memory requires neural activity to represent multiple dimensions of
behavioral experience in space and time. Recent experiments have explored the influence …

Behavioral time scale plasticity (BTSP), is a form of non-Hebbian plasticity induced by
integrating pre-and postsynaptic components separated by behavioral time scale (seconds) …

The hippocampus is critical for memory and spatial navigation. The ability to map novel
environments, as well as more abstract conceptual relationships, is fundamental to the …
