[HTML][HTML] Neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus: carrying the message or dictating the tone

VC Piatti, LA Ewell, JK Leutgeb - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2013 - frontiersin.org
The dentate gyrus (DG) is a region in the mammalian brain critical for memory encoding
with a neuronal architecture and function that deviates considerably from other cortical areas. …

Frequency-tuned distribution of inhibition in the dentate gyrus

LA Ewell, MV Jones - Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Granule cells (GCs) of the dentate gyrus use sparse encoding to perform redundancy reduction,
pattern separation, and novelty detection. One likely candidate mechanism to enforce …

[PDF][PDF] MicroRNA-101 regulates multiple developmental programs to constrain excitation in adult neural networks

G Lippi, CC Fernandes, LA Ewell, D John, B Romoli… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
A critical feature of neural networks is that they balance excitation and inhibition to prevent
pathological dysfunction. How this is achieved is largely unknown, although deficits in the …

[HTML][HTML] Pattern separation of spiketrains in hippocampal neurons

AD Madar, LA Ewell, MV Jones - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
Pattern separation is a process that minimizes overlap between patterns of neuronal activity
representing similar experiences. Theoretical work suggests that the dentate gyrus (DG) …

The impact of pathological high-frequency oscillations on hippocampal network activity in rats with chronic epilepsy

LA Ewell, KB Fischer, C Leibold, S Leutgeb… - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.42148.001 In epilepsy, brain networks generate pathological high-frequency
oscillations (pHFOs) during interictal periods. To understand how pHFOs differ from normal …

Brain state is a major factor in preseizure hippocampal network activity and influences success of seizure intervention

LA Ewell, L Liang, C Armstrong, I Soltész… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Neural dynamics preceding seizures are of interest because they may shed light on
mechanisms of seizure generation and could be predictive. In healthy animals, hippocampal …

[HTML][HTML] DeepLabStream enables closed-loop behavioral experiments using deep learning-based markerless, real-time posture detection

…, M Loshakov, I Pavlova, L Kück, LA Ewell… - Communications …, 2021 - nature.com
In general, animal behavior can be described as the neuronal-driven sequence of reoccurring
postures through time. Most of the available current technologies focus on offline pose …

[HTML][HTML] Temporal pattern separation in hippocampal neurons through multiplexed neural codes

AD Madar, LA Ewell, MV Jones - PLoS computational biology, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Pattern separation is a central concept in current theories of episodic memory: this
computation is thought to support our ability to avoid confusion between similar memories by …

[HTML][HTML] Synchronous activity patterns in the dentate gyrus during immobility

…, N Masala, FJ Distler, O Braganza, JH Macke, LA Ewell… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
The hippocampal dentate gyrus is an important relay conveying sensory information from
the entorhinal cortex to the hippocampus proper. During exploration, the dentate gyrus has …

[HTML][HTML] Early deficits in dentate circuit and behavioral pattern separation after concussive brain injury

…, S Nguyen, MW Shiflett, MV Jones, LA Ewell… - Experimental …, 2023 - Elsevier
Traumatic brain injury leads to cellular and circuit changes in the dentate gyrus, a gateway
to hippocampal information processing. Intrinsic granule cell firing properties and strong …
