Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Co-allocation to overlapping dendritic branches in the retrosplenial cortex integrates memories across time
 

Events  occurring  close  in  time  are  often  linked  in  memory, providing a framework for those memories. Recent studies suggest that memories acquired close in time are encoded by overlapping neuronal ensembles, but whether dendritic plasticity plays a role is unknown. Using in vivo longitudinal imaging of somas, dendrites, and spines along with activity-dependent manipulations of these compartments, we show that memory linking is not only dependent on  ensemble  overlap  in  
the  retrosplenial  cortex,  but  also  on branch-specific  dendritic  allocation  mechanisms.  These  results reveal a novel set of rules that govern how linked, and independent memories are allocated to dendritic compartments.
