The dentate gyrus (DG) has a key role in hippocampal memory formation. Intriguingly, DG
lesions impair many, but not all, hippocampus-dependent mnemonic functions, indicating …

One of the most captivating questions in neuroscience revolves around the brain's ability to
efficiently and durably capture and store information. It must process continuous input from …

In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

During our daily life, we depend on memories of past experiences to plan future behaviour.
These memories are represented by the activity of specific neuronal groups or 'engrams' …

Understanding the plasticity of neuronal networks is an emerging field of (patho-)
physiological research, yet the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood …

The hippocampus is the brain's center for episodic memories. Its subregions, the dentate
gyrus and CA1-3, are differentially involved in memory encoding and recall. Hippocampal …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is a form of activity-dependent
synaptic plasticity that exists at most synapses in the nervous system. In the central nervous …

Habit formation is a behavioral adaptation that automates routine actions. Habitual behavior
correlates with broad reconfigurations of dorsolateral striatal (DLS) circuit properties that …

Somatostatin-expressing-interneurons (SOMIs) in the dentate gyrus (DG) control formation
of granule cell (GC) assemblies during memory acquisition. Hilar-perforant-path-associated …

Interneurons are critical for the proper functioning of neural circuits. While often
morphologically complex, their dendrites have been ignored for decades, treating them as …
