This study uses a mouse model of artificial hibernation to show that specific synaptic engram structures are preserved despite widespread spine and synapse elimination, suggesting their role in long-term memory retention.

This study identifies dual acetylcholine-dopamine dynamics in the ventral shell of the nucleus accumbens that drive sequential transitions of male sexual behaviors in mice.

This study shows that SIK3 regulates circadian rhythms in mice by destabilizing PER2 protein through phosphorylation.
