The role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) takes center stage among unanswered questions in
modern neuroscience. The PFC has a Janus-faced nature: it enables sophisticated cognitive …

There is now consistent evidence that neural oscillation at low‐and high‐frequencies
constitute an important aspect of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Specifically …

Atypical brain connectivity is a major contributor to the pathophysiology of
neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). TAOK2 …

The interplay between olfaction and higher cognitive processing has been documented in
the adult brain; however, its development is poorly understood. In mice, shortly after birth …

Mothers exposed to infections during pregnancy disproportionally birth children who
develop autism and schizophrenia, disorders associated with altered GABAergic function …

Disturbed neuronal activity in neuropsychiatric pathologies emerges during development
and might cause multifold neuronal dysfunction by interfering with apoptosis, dendritic …

Sharp wave-ripples (SPW-Rs) are a hippocampal network phenomenon critical for memory
consolidation and planning. SPW-Rs have been extensively studied in the adult brain, yet …

Gamma oscillations are a prominent activity pattern in the cerebral cortex. While gamma
rhythms have been extensively studied in the adult prefrontal cortex in the context of …

Life-long brain function and mental health are critically determined by developmental
processes occurring before birth. During mammalian pregnancy, maternal cells are …

Cognitive deficits, core features of mental illness, largely result from dysfunction of prefrontal
networks. This dysfunction emerges during early development, before a detectable …
