The paper compares the developmental maturation of somatostatin-expressing interneurons in the prelimbic and barrel cortices, finding prolonged remodeling in the prelimbic cortex.

This study identifies strain and sex-specific differences in brain connectome features of awake C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice using MRI.

This study shows adolescent alcohol exposure in mice leads to sex-specific behavioral and neural changes, with females showing increased alcohol preference and males showing altered cellular excitability.

The paper demonstrates non-anesthetized rat neuroimaging during gastric distension using BOLD fMRI, revealing brain regions activated by visceral manipulation.

This study develops a rat model of high-density theta burst stimulation (hdTBS) and shows it increases cortical excitability and basal cerebral blood volume in specific brain regions.

This study identifies a cascade of neural events in the thalamus-hippocampus-mPFC pathway during loss of consciousness in rats under propofol.

The paper introduces a multimodal imaging platform to measure multiple cerebral hemodynamic parameters with high spatiotemporal resolution and applies it to study brain responses to hypercapnia.

The paper identifies immune signatures predicting changes in neural circuit activity in a mouse Alzheimer's model.

This study suppresses dorsal hippocampus activity in rats to identify a brain network involved in spatial memory, showing memory relies on coordinated large-scale neural activity.

The paper shows that in neonatal mice, sensory stimulation causes vasoconstriction only when mice are asleep, as arousal state changes override neurovascular coupling.

This study identifies a respiration-related brain network driven by neural activity, distinct from motion artifacts in resting-state fMRI.

This study investigates stomach-brain coherence in rats using fMRI and gastric slow wave recordings, finding that vagus nerve activity mediates this coherence, which varies between fasting and fed states.

This study identifies directionally constrained activity waves in human and monkey brain data that align with cortical hierarchy and subcortical structures.

The paper introduces an open rsfMRI database of 90 awake rats, providing raw and preprocessed data along with functional connectivity analysis.

The paper analyzes rsfMRI data in awake rats to show that the global brain signal involves thalamo-cortical and hippocampo-cortical network co-activations.

This study investigates how inactivating a brain hub region affects network properties and behavior using chemogenetics and rsfMRI in rodents.

This study shows that pre-trauma neural circuit function predicts individual differences in threat response and vulnerability to PTSD-like behaviors in rats.

This study investigates temporal transitions between resting-state functional connectivity patterns in awake rats and humans, finding nonrandom transitions and identifying key network hubs.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of simultaneously recording calcium and BOLD signals in rats using GCaMP6-based fiber photometry and fMRI, showing reproducible responses to visual stimuli.

This paper reviews differences in neurovascular coupling and brain circuit function between awake and anesthetized animals and discusses innovations for studying these in un-anesthetized models.

This study examines dynamic brain connectivity patterns in conscious and unconscious states using rsfMRI in rats, revealing distinct connectivity states linked to consciousness levels.

This study shows that anesthetic-induced unconsciousness reduces global information exchange in the brain, regardless of the anesthetic used.
