Wang D, Wu Y, Mehaffey C, Mehaffy C, Espinoza-Campomanes L, Santos-Valencia F, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Oct; PMID: 39386432
Hunger and thirst are two fundamental drives for maintaining homeostasis and elicit distinct food- and water-seeking behaviors essential for survival. For neonatal mammals, however, both hunger and thirst are sated...

Neuron . 2024 Jul; 112(17):2938-2954.e6. PMID: 38964330
Neuronal activity plays a critical role in the maturation of circuits that propagate sensory information into the brain. How widely does early activity regulate circuit maturation across the developing brain?...

Lewis S, Suarez L, Rigolli N, Franks K, Steinmetz N, Gire D
bioRxiv . 2024 Mar; PMID: 38496526
In natural odor environments, odor travels in plumes. Odor concentration dynamics change in characteristic ways across the width and length of a plume. Thus, spatiotemporal dynamics of plumes have informative...

Bolding K, Franks K
Methods Mol Biol . 2023 Sep; 2710:209-221. PMID: 37688735
Neural circuits consist of a myriad of distinct cell types, each with specific intrinsic properties and patterns of synaptic connectivity, which transform neural input and convey this information to downstream...

Diaz C, Franks K, Blazing R
Curr Biol . 2023 Apr; 33(7):R266-R269. PMID: 37040708
Many cortical brain regions are spatially organized to optimize sensory representation. Such topographic maps have so far been elusive in the olfactory cortex. A high-throughput tracing study reveals that the...

Nagappan S, Franks K
Elife . 2021 Dec; 10. PMID: 34913870
Understanding how distinct neuron types in a neural circuit process and propagate information is essential for understanding what the circuit does and how it does it. The olfactory (piriform, PCx)...

Ryu B, Nagappan S, Santos-Valencia F, Lee P, Rodriguez E, Lackie M, et al.
Cell Rep . 2021 Apr; 35(3):109001. PMID: 33882304
It is well established that seizures beget seizures, yet the cellular processes that underlie progressive epileptogenesis remain unclear. Here, we use optogenetics to briefly activate targeted populations of mouse piriform...

Russo M, Franks K, Oghaz R, Axel R, Siegelbaum S
J Neurosci . 2020 Oct; 40(49):9414-9425. PMID: 33115926
Odors activate distributed ensembles of neurons within the piriform cortex, forming cortical representations of odor thought to be essential to olfactory learning and behaviors. This odor response is driven by...
