Genetic tagging of active neurons in auditory cortex reveals maternal plasticity of coding ultrasonic vocalizations

Fos-CreER knock-in mice enable tagging of neurons that are activated within a distinct time window. Here, the authors develop a Cre reporter mouse with low baseline activation and use it to reveal the specific coding properties of auditory cortex neurons that are activated by pup calls in both naive...
