    Cocaine exposure reorganizes cell type– and input-specific connectivity in the nucleus accumbens

    Repeated cocaine exposure enhances excitatory connections onto medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). The authors show that cocaine selectively increases basolateral amygdala inputs onto d...

    Exaggerated translation causes synaptic and behavioural aberrations associated with autism

    Mice overexpressing eIF4E show autism-related behaviours and altered synaptic activity in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and striatum, and these phenotypes can be rescued with the cap-dependent translation...

    Subcellular connectivity underlies pathway-specific signaling in the nucleus accumbens

    The authors report that medium spiny neurons in the mouse nucleus accumbens receive inputs from the cortex, thalamus and hippocampus, but the differential subcellular connectivity of hippocampal inputs makes t...

    Quantal events shape cerebellar interneuron firing

    Many small synaptic inputs or one large input are needed to influence principal cell firing, whereas individual quanta exert little influence. However, the role of a quantum may be greater for small interneuro...
