Journal article Cell Rep · August 2, 2022 Gestational exposure to environmental toxins and socioeconomic stressors is epidemiologically linked to neurodevelopmental disorders with strong male bias, such as autism. We model these prenatal risk factors in mice by co-exposing pregnant dams to an envi ... Full text Link to item Cite

Brain-wide electrical dynamics encode individual appetitive social behavior.

Journal article Neuron · May 18, 2022 The architecture whereby activity across many brain regions integrates to encode individual appetitive social behavior remains unknown. Here we measure electrical activity from eight brain regions as mice engage in a social preference assay. We then use ma ... Full text Link to item Cite

Brain-wide Electrical Spatiotemporal Dynamics Encode Depression Vulnerability.

Journal article Cell · March 22, 2018 Brain-wide fluctuations in local field potential oscillations reflect emergent network-level signals that mediate behavior. Cracking the code whereby these oscillations coordinate in time and space (spatiotemporal dynamics) to represent complex behaviors w ... Full text Link to item Cite

Dysregulation of Prefrontal Cortex-Mediated Slow-Evolving Limbic Dynamics Drives Stress-Induced Emotional Pathology.

Journal article Neuron · July 20, 2016 Circuits distributed across cortico-limbic brain regions compose the networks that mediate emotional behavior. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulates ultraslow (<1 Hz) dynamics across these networks, and PFC dysfunction is implicated in stress-related illne ... Full text Link to item Cite
