The paper introduces hamFISH, a method for multiplexed in situ hybridization to profile gene expression, connectivity, and activity in the medial amygdala of mice, identifying 16 inhibitory and 10 excitatory neuron types.

This study shows that midbrain dopamine neurons provide teaching signals for goal-directed navigation by encoding reward prediction errors and ramping activity that improve navigation performance.

BonVision provides an open-source tool for creating and controlling visual environments, enabling closed-loop experiments with real-time interaction and hardware integration.

This study investigates how mice integrate sensory confidence and reward value in decision-making and learning, revealing distinct roles for frontal and dopamine neurons.
