Dorsoventral hippocampus neural assemblies reactivate during sleep following an aversive experience - Nature Neuroscience

Excited to share our new #preprint uncovering how early human forebrain is patterned.
Compared to mouse, human dorsoventral and anteroposterior telencephalon patterning is strikingly delayed, which is correlated with SHH and FGF signalling differences.

We take for granted that our hands have two sides and can articulate in an endless number of ways. But what about a fish’s fin? Can a fish know something “like the back of its fin,” or have its future told with a fin palm reading? Check out this bluetorial to find out 👇🧪🧬🐟 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Using live cell microscopy we showed that gill filaments form asymmetrically along the dorsoventral axis: dorsally, medial filaments emerge first and are longer; ventrally, lateral filaments form before medial ones. These early patterns predict adult gill architecture.

Social remapping of spatial coding along the dorsoventral axis of the mouse prefrontal cortex
Social remapping of spatial coding along the dorsoventral axis of the mouse prefrontal cortex
Cohen et al. reveal the functional organization of the mouse prefrontal cortex that enables gradual modulation of neuronal spatial representation by social context. This organization follows a dorsoventral gradient, dictated by topologically organized groups of neurons showing differential encoding of spatial and social aspects of the individual’s behavior.
