Action prediction error: a value-free dopaminergic teaching signal that drives stable learning

This study identifies a movement-based dopamine signal in mice that acts as a value-free teaching signal for learning sound-action associations, working alongside reward prediction error.

Combined transcriptomic, connectivity, and activity profiling of the medial amygdala using highly amplified multiplexed in situ hybridization (hamFISH)

The paper introduces hamFISH, a method for multiplexed in situ hybridization to profile gene expression, connectivity, and activity in the medial amygdala of mice, identifying 16 inhibitory and 10 excitatory neuron types.

Cerebellar output neurons impair non-motor behaviors by altering development of extracerebellar connectivity

This study shows that ablating cerebellar output neurons has less impact on behavior than genetic mutations in these neurons, which cause additional deficits in learning and memory.
