The paper identifies a novel 40-kHz inverted-U ultrasonic vocalization subtype in rats during chocolate consumption using machine learning, showing it is opioid-modulated and linked to reward states.

The paper examines electrophysiological features of ACo neurons during an odor-guided task, revealing distinct patterns of odor and reward anticipation.

The paper shows that task engagement in the orbitofrontal cortex aligns population activity along a confidence axis, enabling confidence-based behavior in rats.

This paper introduces a novel behavioral task for flavor discrimination in mice, showing that intraoral flavor, not olfactory input, is critical for task performance.

The paper examines how nLOT neurons encode odor signals and behavioral states in mice during odor-guided tasks, finding bi-directional cue encoding and context-based odor-outcome associations.

The paper investigates how vTT neurons in mice are tuned to different scenes during feeding behaviors, showing scene-specific firing patterns and top-down modulation.

The paper investigates how non-sensory neurons in V1 and PPC contribute to population-level computations that drive visually-evoked choice behavior during a detection task.
