Distributed hierarchical filters partition the Danionella vocal repertoire
Jörg Henninger, Maximilian Hoffmann, Mykola Kadobianskyi…·Benjamin Judkewitz
The paper shows that vocal call categorization in Danionella is distributed across multiple brain regions rather than localized to a single area.

Multiplexing of functionally distinct inputs by intrinsic modulation of spike timing in a monoaminergic nucleus
Michael B. Lynn, Leonard Maler, Jean-Claude Béïque
The paper investigates how 5-HT neurons in the DRN encode and distinguish two excitatory inputs using spike timing and intrinsic cellular mechanisms.

Dentate gyrus mossy cells exhibit sparse coding via adaptive spike threshold dynamics
Anh‐Tuan Trinh, Mauricio Girardi‐Schappo, Jean-Claude Béïque…·Leonard Maler
This paper investigates the biophysical properties of hilar mossy cells (hMCs) and develops a model to explain their adaptive spike threshold dynamics and role in pattern separation.

Mixed selectivity coding of sensory and motor social signals in the thalamus of a weakly electric fish
Avner Wallach, Alexandre Melanson, André Longtin, Leonard Maler
The paper investigates how mixed selectivity codes sensory and motor social signals in the thalamus of weakly electric fish, showing their role in social behavior and dominance.

Cellular and network mechanisms may generate sparse coding of sequential object encounters in hippocampal-like circuits
Anh‐Tuan Trinh, Stephen E. Clarke, Erik Harvey‐Girard, Leonard Maler
The paper investigates the cellular and network mechanisms in the dorsal lateral pallium of fish that generate sparse coding of sequential object encounters.

Neural activity in a hippocampus-like region of the teleost pallium are associated with navigation and active sensing
Haleh Fotowat, Candice Lee, James Jaeyoon Jun, Leonard Maler
The paper characterizes neural activity in a hippocampal-like region of a teleost fish brain and links active sensing to spatial navigation.

A novel time-stamp mechanism transforms egocentric encounters into an allocentric spatial representation
Avner Wallach, Erik Harvey‐Girard, James Jaeyoon Jun…·Leonard Maler
This paper demonstrates that electric fish use a time-stamp mechanism in the preglomerular complex to transform egocentric encounters into allocentric spatial representations through path-integration.
