This is an important study using a combination of optogenetics and calcium imaging to provide insight into the function of the cholinergic input to the prelimbic cortex in probabilistic spatial ...

Subtle activation of a small subset of neurons in one region of the brain can make male mice resilient to, and even reverse, ...

In a separate study, the team then compared the set of genes that are active in the prefrontal cortex of resilient and non-resilient mice before and after stress to understand the molecular ...

In humans, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays an important role in moderation of stress and also in social cognition, so the researchers theorized that the same may be true for mice.

In a separate study, the team then compared the set of genes that are active in the prefrontal cortex of resilient and non-resilient mice before and after stress to understand the molecular ...

The researchers focused on the medial prefrontal cortex, a brain region essential for cognitive control and memory. Using mice as their model, they examined the effects of repeated exposure to ...
