The paper investigates genetic and neuronal factors influencing aggression in mice, finding strong genetic control and a role for VMHvl neurons.

This study identifies a neural circuit involving PAEsr1 and VMHvlNpy2r cells that supports the regulation of maternal aggression through plasticity and oxytocin signaling.

This study shows that endogenous 17β-estradiol enhances reward prediction errors in the nucleus accumbens by reducing dopamine reuptake, thereby influencing reinforcement learning.

The paper investigates neural dynamics in the limbic system of male mice during sexual and aggressive behaviors, identifying distinct network states associated with each behavior.

This paper develops GRABDA sensors to measure dopamine with high precision in multiple organisms during complex behaviors.
