This study shows that vagus nerve stimulation activates the default mode network, enhancing cognitive behaviors, while vagal-independent mechanisms affect the salience network.

The paper identifies distinct noradrenergic subsystems in the locus coeruleus that dynamically respond to varying levels of social stress, influencing traumatic learning and anxiety.

The paper introduces a high-resolution volumetric imaging system for observing cellular dynamics in large 3D tissues and embryos, demonstrating its application in mouse brain and quail embryo studies.

The paper uses computational methods to analyze neural activity in the mouse dmPFC during fear conditioning, revealing learning-dependent changes in network topology and hub formation.

The paper investigates brain pH and lactate levels in animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders, finding decreased pH and increased lactate levels as common features across multiple models.

The paper uses FlashTag labeling to show regional differences in neuronal migration in the developing mouse cortex, which thymidine analogues cannot capture.
