This study identifies a mechanism by which prelimbic corticopontine neurons gate extinction learning through mitochondria-dependent post-tetanic potentiation.

The paper investigates how CA3 pyramidal cell excitability is regulated by mossy fiber and perforant pathway inputs, showing their role in sequence learning through bidirectional regulation of excitability and synaptic plasticity.

This study shows that VTA GABA neurons drive NAc oscillations during stress, which are necessary and sufficient for stress-induced anhedonia.

The paper shows that translin/trax is required for a specific form of hippocampal synaptic plasticity dependent on postsynaptic PKA, but not for presynaptic PKA-dependent plasticity.
