The paper maps whole-brain neural activity during emergence from isoflurane anesthesia in mice and finds selective subcortical activation rather than global cortical reactivation.

This study identifies a brain-wide neural ensemble involved in anesthesia-induced unconsciousness, with the lateral parabrachial nucleus as a central hub.

The paper shows that male ejaculation reduces female sexual motivation by activating specific inhibitory neurons in the medial preoptic area of mice.

The paper introduces ArgiNLS, a nuclear localization signal that improves image segmentation of single-cells by restricting fluorescent proteins to the nucleus, enhancing machine learning-based segmentation.

The paper introduces an operant social stress procedure to study stress-induced changes in social motivation in male and female mice, finding sex-specific behavioral responses and introducing a social index score to quantify individual differences.

The paper investigates sex differences in reactive and appetitive aggression in mice using behavioral tests, revealing distinct patterns between males and females.
