This study shows that hippocampo-septal feedback inhibits the medial septal circuit based on hippocampal activity and movement speed, without being essential for theta rhythm generation.

The paper investigates how cholinergic and dopaminergic pathways interact in reward prediction-error signaling through optogenetic and chemogenetic experiments in mice.

This study uses a trial-based assay to show that Drosophila with Parkinson's-related genetic mutations exhibit altered reactivity to threatening stimuli, revealing potential insights into disease mechanisms.

The paper identifies that most ventral pallidal cholinergic neurons are bursting basal forebrain cholinergic neurons with specific connectivity to reinforcement circuits.

This study identifies a role for parvalbumin-expressing basal forebrain neurons in associative learning from negative experiences through calcium imaging and optogenetic experiments.

The paper identifies persistent post-stress activity of paraventricular thalamic neurons as critical for stress-induced maladaptive behavior and shows that inhibiting this activity can alleviate symptoms.

This study shows that basal forebrain cholinergic neurons respond to probabilistic outcome-predicting stimuli based on a weighted, unsigned prediction error model, and their activation predicts behavioral responses.

This paper introduces a method to precisely localize deep brain implants in mice using micro-CT and MRI, enabling real-time assessment of implantation success.
