The paper introduces a benchmark dataset and tool for cross-lab quantification of mouse social behavior, achieving high-resolution and reproducible classification.

The paper identifies the amygdalostriatal transition zone (ASt) as a critical structure for encoding sustained cue responses that guide defensive behaviors.

This study identifies a BLA-mPFC neural pathway through which social isolation increases alcohol drinking in male mice by altering prefrontal cortex activity.

This study applies deep learning tools to automate behavioral analysis of mice in spaceflight, revealing progressive behavioral adaptations to microgravity.

The paper uses spatial transcriptomics to analyze cardiomyocyte states in pressure-overloaded mouse hearts, finding pro-fibrotic states linked to microenvironmental changes.

DISK uses deep learning to impute missing skeleton data in animal behavior studies, improving reliability and enabling more accurate motion analysis.

This study investigates the neural mechanisms of cooperation in mice, showing that the medial prefrontal cortex encodes leadership dynamics and social value maps in an asymmetric, role-specific manner.

This study shows social exclusion increases physical pain responses through insular neuromodulation in mice, with opposing endocannabinoid and oxytocin signaling.

The paper predicts stress-induced anhedonia by analyzing cortical dynamics and facial expressions in mice, showing that mPFC valence encoding and behavior can predict susceptibility.

Keypoint-MoSeq fits a generative model that tells tracking jitter apart from real movement, cutting pose time series into unsupervised sub-second behavioural syllables in mice.

This study identifies pC1-Alpha neurons in Drosophila females that drive persistent behaviors through recurrent neural connectivity.

This paper introduces PAWS, a machine-vision tool for automated pain measurement in mice, showing it can distinguish painful from non-painful stimuli and quantify pain severity.

The paper identifies a new song mode in Drosophila, revealing how sensory feedback and neural activity influence song production and perception.
