Distinct Patterns of Evoked Firing in Engram and Non-Engram Neurons in the Dentate Gyrus of Hippocampal Slices.
Article in Hippocampus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Intense electrical activity modifies the cellular properties of neurons to enable the nervous system to store information. The dentate gyrus (DG) plays a role in learning and memory and its principal cell type, the granule cell (GC), can fire vigorously during behavior. To explore how experience modifies GC electrophysiology, we harnessed the immediate early gene, Fos, to target a genetically encoded hybrid voltage sensor to neurons that are activated by experience and are hypothesized to encode information. Voltage imaging from these engram GCs in mouse hippocampal slices revealed distinct patterns of stimulation-evoked spiking that depended on prior experience. Compared to unchallenged mice, engram GCs from mice exposed to novelty burst more often, and have longer inter-spike intervals following the blockade of inhibition. Voltage imaging from randomly targeted non-engram GCs revealed distinct firing patterns that did not depend on novelty. Thus, experience modifies the firing of both engram and non-engram GCs in distinctly different ways. The altered bursting will tune the facilitation of transmission from engram GCs to their various postsynaptic targets, and thus redirect the flow of information through the hippocampus. The pattern of GC firing constitutes a substrate for the encoding of information and will alter how the DG processes sensory inputs.
