Check out Mo Zhu's new paper in Learning&Memory, where she identifies transient changes in neocortical pyramidal neuron responses at the onset of learning. Nice cover, Mo!

FosGFP expression does not capture a sensory learning-related engram in superficial layers of mouse barrel cortex
pnas.org
Immediate-early gene (IEG) expression has been used to identify small neural ensembles linked to a particular experience, based on the principle th...

High-throughput detection of inhibitory synapses will require more than gephyrin - check out our new paper from Dika Kuljis and colleagues!
mdpi.com
Gephyrin has long been thought of as a master regulator for inhibitory synapses, acting as a scaffold to organize γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) at the post-synaptic density. Accord...

Check out the new paper from the Barth Lab's talented undergrad Sarah Bernhard about automated sensory association training for whisker-dependent learning - now in PLoSOne
journals.plos.org
Automated, homecage behavioral training for rodents has many advantages: it is low stress, requires little interaction with the experimenter, and can be easily manipulated to adapt to different...

Selective and transient PV disinhibition in superficial layers of neocortex during learning - great new preprint from Dika Kuljis and Eunsol Park in the Barth Lab @CmuScience @cmuneurosci
biorxiv.org
Sensory and motor learning reorganizes neocortical circuitry, particularly manifested in the strength of excitatory synapses. Prior studies suggest reduced inhibition can facilitate glutamatergic...

Congrats to @CMU_Bio's Alison Barth who received a grant from the @NIH to study synapses in the early stages of #AlzheimersDisease The findings could provide a clue to what happens in the brain during Alzheimer’s before symptoms begin to appear. https://t.co/gC3fFb7pWU
