New in #JNeurosci: Liu et al. used sea slugs to identify a cellular mechanism expressed in many other organisms including humans that is engaged 24 h after learning something new to strengthen long-term memory. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1981-25.2026
Very happy part of my doctoral work is now published at #JNeurosci @sfnjournals.bsky.social We examine how subcortical signals are routed through higher order thalamus to impact local cortical circuits! Check it out at the link below 🎉
#JNeurosci | New data on an old stroke model: Rose Bengal causes rapid cerebral vasoconstriction and decreases blood flow throughout the body. Photothrombotic stroke should be induced with yellow light, especially when performed in ChR2 expressing mice.

#JNeurosci: Gallello et al tested if DA conveying RPEs in the service of Reinforcement Learning are directly applied to regions, like MFC. Results suggest DA signals don't serve a universal function, but conform to support functions of each local region

#JNeurosci: Findings from Ogawa et al. suggest that the time of day distinctly influences activity patterns in different brain areas. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0729-25.2026
#JNeurosci: Findings from Quintana-Sarti et al. help explain how targeting microRNA-134 in mice can reduce seizure activity and support the continued development of this novel RNA-based approach for the treatment of epilepsy. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1081-25.2025
New in #JNeurosci from Kosteletou-Kassotaki et al: A white matter tract connecting the inferior colliculus to the basolateral amygdala via the MGB of the thalamus is linked to better hearing ability and higher self-reported fearfulness in people. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1431-25.2026

New in #JNeurosci from Pinggal et al: Medication-withdrawn adults with ADHD exhibit more sleep-like brain activity while awake than neurotypical adults that is linked to poorer performance in a task that requires sustained attention. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1694-25.2025
#JNeurosci: Iyer et al. use a mouse model that mimics neural adaptations observed in people after limb loss. Results suggest the adult brain remains highly plastic and identifies mechanisms by which circuits adapt after changes in sensory experience.
https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1519-25.2025
#JNeurosci: Findings in mice from Valnegri et al. show that neuronal activity can dynamically reshape the genome and gene programs, in part by interfering with mechanisms that operate in unstimulated neurons.

#JNeurosci: Using fMRI, Zhang et al. found that while both sounds & videos reactivate sensory brain regions during recall, auditory memories rely more on internally constructed, gist-like representations that differ from the original perceptual patterns https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1576-25.2026
#JNeurosci: Results in mice from Koster and Sherman provide a rationale for ongoing communication between cortex and thalamus in perception—flexibility and control of sensory information. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0783-25.2026
