This study shows that locus coeruleus norepinephrine increases decision thresholds, reaction time, and accuracy, and that this effect is mediated by 2 adrenergic receptors.

The paper introduces a LIFT microscope for three-photon imaging with a large field of view, enabling high-resolution calcium imaging in deep brain regions of mice and rats.

This paper develops a cross-species evidence accumulation task to compare perceptual decision-making in humans, rats, and mice, finding similar strategies but species-specific priorities in speed, accuracy, and reward optimization.
