Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation.

The Texas Science Festival began on Friday & we’ve already had fantastic fun at some exceptional events.
We’ve got lots more in the works, including 2 events tonight and 3 tomorrow.

The snRNA-seq turns up some interesting candidate genes that could mediate extinction-induced suppression of fear cells, e.g.:

14.06.2024 18:02 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0We confirm that extinction suppresses reactivation of fear engram cells in dorsal and ventral dentate gyrus. We find that this suppression also occurs in dorsal CA1 but --interestingly-- not in ventral CA1. Perhaps vCA1 maintains a fear representation that is resistant to extinction?

Extinction training suppresses activity of fear memory ensembles across the hippocampus and alters transcriptomes of fear-encoding cells: t.co/K8d4jAhiKS
Why do sublinear response summation and quenching of shared variability tend to co-occur in cortex? We review phenomenological, normative, and circuit explanations. With Robbe Goris, Ruben Coen-Cagli, Nick Priebe, & Mate Lengyel. rdcu.be/dy1q5
