The paper identifies superhub cells in neural networks that, when targeted, more effectively stabilize epileptic networks compared to traditional hub cells.

The paper shows that offline memory reactivation stabilizes long-term spatial representations by counteracting reward-related biases, promoting comprehensive cognitive maps.

This study investigates how adult-born granule cells contribute to epileptic network activity in the dentate gyrus using in vivo calcium imaging and neural topic modeling.

The paper introduces a zero-inflated gamma model for deconvolved calcium imaging traces, showing it outperforms simpler models in simulated and real neural data.

The paper examines hippocampal place cell activity in Fmr1-null mice, finding normal place fields but disrupted network coordination, suggesting impaired ensemble coding in FXS.

The paper identifies slow gamma dominance over mid-frequency gamma in hippocampus CA1 as an electrophysiological signature of recollection in mice, linking it to cognitive inflexibility in Fmrl-null mice.
