Why are some neurons more selective than others? We report now in nature how calcium permeable-AMPA receptors in PV neurons make them less selective to sensory features nature.com/articles/s4158… Long live the geniuses behind this🧠🔍juhyun.kim Thomas Hainmueller @rhuganir

Our behavioural time scale plasticity paper is out in nature ! Congrats Anant Jain , Yoshi, and others! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hyungbae Kwon, Ph.D., and colleagues have successfully used optogenetics to artificially reactivate a spatial-memory, prompting shelter-seeking behavior in mice without the original threatening stimuli that were present during the formation of the memory circuit. Their study
