This study shows that the superior colliculus gates dopamine responses to conditioned stimuli in visual classical conditioning by developing neuronal responses to the CS and requiring convergence of visual, dopamine, and serotonin inputs.

The paper identifies orexin-sensitive layer 6 neurons in the prefrontal cortex that regulate cortical excitability and anxiety behaviour.

This study introduces a new metric, oscillatory Quality (o-Quality), to quantify sleep spindle oscillatory strength in mice and links it to functional roles in sleep.
