This study shows that different striatal subregions, aDLS and pVLS, use distinct processes to mediate auditory discrimination learning in rats.

The paper shows that fear memory involves pre-configured local ensembles in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, with hippocampal ensembles developing through experience to integrate inter-regional coactivations during sleep and retrieval.

The paper examines how neuronal firing rates change during REM and NREM sleep in rats, finding increased variance during REM and homogenization during NREM.

The paper identifies LOW activity states during non-REM sleep in rats, characterized by reduced neural activity and potential restorative function.
