Asymmetric Social Representations in the Prefrontal Cortex for Cooperative Behavior

This study investigates the neural mechanisms of cooperation in mice, showing that the medial prefrontal cortex encodes leadership dynamics and social value maps in an asymmetric, role-specific manner.

BrainBeacon: A Cross-Species Foundation Model for Single-cell Resolved Brain Spatial Transcriptomics

BrainBeacon is a cross-species foundation model for whole-brain spatial transcriptomics that enables cross-species alignment and uncovers spatial regulatory mechanisms of aging.

Unveiling value functions in social cognition with multi-agentinverse reinforcement learning

This paper introduces MAIRL, a multi-agent inverse reinforcement learning framework that decomposes joint value functions into individual value maps and interaction terms, revealing interpretable social value representations in mice and primates.

Central deficiency of norepinephrine synthesis and norepinephrinergic neurotransmission contributes to seizure-induced respiratory arrest

The paper investigates how norepinephrine synthesis and neurotransmission deficits contribute to seizure-induced respiratory arrest and identifies NE-1R as a potential therapeutic target for SUDEP prevention.
