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 …

The nucleus reuniens of the thalamus (RE) is a key component of an extensive network of
hippocampal and cortical structures and is a fundamental substrate for cognition. A common …

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and its abundant connections with other brain regions
play key roles in memory, cognition, decision making, social behaviors, and mood …

In mammals, the selective transformation of transient experience into stored memory occurs
in the hippocampus, which develops representations of specific events in the context in …

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

Abstract The theta oscillation (5–10 Hz) is a prominent behavior-specific brain rhythm. This
review summarizes studies showing the multifaceted role of theta rhythm in cognitive …

Programmed cell death widely but heterogeneously affects the developing brain, causing
the loss of up to 50% of neurons in rodents. However, whether this heterogeneity originates …

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

Remembering life episodes is a complex process that requires interaction among multiple
brain areas. It is thought that contextual information provided by the hippocampus (HPC) can …

Coordinated activity patterns in the developing brain may contribute to the wiring of neuronal
circuits underlying future behavioural requirements. However, causal evidence for this …
