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

Olfactory information is encoded in lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) by two classes of layer 2 (L2)
principal neurons: fan and pyramidal cells. However, the functional properties of L2 cells …

Gamma oscillations are a prominent activity pattern in the cerebral cortex. While gamma
rhythms have been extensively studied in the adult prefrontal cortex in the context of cognitive (…

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

The transmission of the heartbeat through the cerebral vascular system causes intracranial
pressure pulsations. We discovered that arterial pressure pulsations can directly modulate …

Cognitive deficits, core features of mental illness, largely result from dysfunction of prefrontal
networks. This dysfunction emerges during early development, before a detectable …

Spindle oscillations have been described during early brain development and in the adult
brain. Besides similarities in temporal patterns and involved brain areas, neonatal spindle …

The hippocampus-driven entrainment of neonatal prefrontal circuits in theta-gamma
oscillations contributes to the maturation of cognitive abilities, yet the underlying synaptic …

Optogenetics offers many advantages in terms of cell-type specificity, allowing to investigate
functional connectivity between different brain areas at high spatial and neural population …

The interplay between olfaction and higher cognitive processing has been documented in
the adult brain; however, its development is poorly understood. In mice, shortly after birth, …
