Do you use the @alleninstitute.org mouse brain connectome?

In work led by Vikram Nathan we found issues with existing connectome representations, fixed them, showed the impact on connectome measures.

Do you wonder what they are?

Maturation of hippocampus-medial prefrontal cortex projections defines a pathway-specific sensitive period for cognitive flexibility Cruz-Sanchez et al. show that the maturation trajectory of ventral and intermediate hippocampus-medial prefrontal cortex connectivity displays distinct anatomical and synaptic developmental signatures...

Happy to share the latest from our lab published @cp-cellreports.bsky.social, where we delineated the synaptic maturation trajectory for vCA1 and iCA1 projections to mPFC, and pathway-specific effects of vCA1- and iCA1-mPFC juvenile inhibition on cognitive flexibility

New Year, new paper from our lab. Emily Kramer used 3D light-sheet imaging and tissue clearing to examine the spatial architecture of mouse amygdala engram ensembles.

OECS thematic collections.

OECS thematic collections.

If you haven't been looking recently at the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (oecs.mit.edu), here's your reminder that we are a free, open access resource for learning about the science of mind.

Today we are launching our new Thematic Collections to organize our growing set of articles!

Neural Circuits and Behaviour CAN 2025 Satellite Meeting Come join us at our second-annual CAN satellite event, bringing together Canadian neuroscientists studying circuits and behaviour.

GREAT opportunity for Canadian trainees:

FOUR talks at the Neural Circuits and Behaviour CAN satellite are reserved for trainees.

AND the best trainee talk wins a $500 prize (thanks to the Garry Hurvitz Centre for Brain & Mental Health).

REGISTER today and submit your proposed talk title.
