This study identifies two distance-coding schemes in mouse brainstem neurons during wall-passing behavior: a proximity code and a map code, with the map code providing better population decoding of distance.

The paper examines dopamine dynamics during cocaine and fentanyl self-administration in mice, identifying distinct patterns and developing a computational model to explain compulsive behavior.

The paper identifies facial motion energy (FME) as a sensitive measure of hearing abilities in mice, showing its reliability and ability to decode speech in noise.

This study uses calcium imaging to show that taste representations in the gustatory insular cortex of awake mice are sparse and distributed, lacking spatial clustering or topography.

This study shows that the gustatory insular cortex in mice is crucial for decision-making during a taste-based reward task, with cognitive signals during a delay period driving behavior.

This study shows that dopamine depletion in the motor cortex of mice impairs preparatory activity and delays licking initiation, linking dopaminergic signaling to motor deficits.
