  • Whether excitatory and inhibitory neural populations in the medial preoptic area of hypothalamus (MPOA) respond differentially under different chronic stress conditions is not fully understood. Here, the authors show that chronic stress induces a disruption of excitation-inhibition balance in mouse MPOA, leading to depression-like states.

  • Zona incerta (ZI) is an inhibitory subthalamic nucleus with diverse connectivity yet its functional importance has not been extensively studied. Here the authors report that ZI receives mPFC input and can modulate both innate and learned defensive behaviors via its inhibitory projection to the PAG.

  • Simple cell receptive fields (RFs) consist of spatially segregated 'On' and 'Off' subregions. Previous work suggested that excitatory inputs underlie this segregation. This study uses voltage clamp recordings in mouse to reveal that actually inibitory inputs are responsible for RF organization.

  • By silencing intracortical excitation in mouse primary visual cortex, Li and colleagues find that the tuning of layer 4 pyramidal cells is independent of cortico-cortical inputs. Instead, intracortical excitation amplifies thalamocortical signals and expands the spatial receptive field of layer 4 neurons.
