Social Approach Dynamics in Freely-Moving Rat Dyads are Not Impacted by Lesions to the Retrosplenial Cortex

Mckenna I Lowrie, Jaidyn E.M. Smith, Angela T.N. Le, Diano F. Marrone, Nathan Insel

This study shows that lesions to the retrosplenial cortex in rats do not significantly affect social approach dynamics during interactions with a social stimulus.

DIPLOMAT: multi-animal tracking with efficient manual editing

Isaac Robinson, George Glidden-Handgis, Neekesh Panchal, Nathan Insel, Travis J. Wheeler

A hidden Markov model trace over DeepLabCut or SLEAP confidence maps reduced identity swaps versus both tools on 54 MABe mouse-triplet videos; retained probabilities also guide manual editing.

Relevance learning via inhibitory plasticity and its implications for schizophrenia

Nathan Insel, Jordan Guerguiev, Blake A. Richards

This paper develops a neural network model showing how cortical circuits learn to ignore irrelevant inputs through inhibitory plasticity, and how disruptions to this process may contribute to schizophrenia.
