Self-Organized Neural Integrators in Noisy Spiking Networks

The paper shows that noisy spiking networks can approximate integration through random connectivity and noise, validated by experimental results on tactile decision-making.

A brainstem map of orofacial rhythms

The paper maps brainstem neural activity related to breathing, licking, and swallowing in mice, revealing coordinated rhythms and a premotor network involved in orofacial movements.

Expression pattern of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit transcripts in neurons and astrocytes in the ventral tegmental area and locus coeruleus

The paper identifies and quantifies nAChR subunit transcript expression in specific neurons and astrocytes in the VTA and LC across age and sex in mice.
