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.

CellBoost reduces annotation labor in neuroanatomy by combining human judgment and machine learning, achieving accuracy comparable to human agreement while decreasing time by up to ten-fold.

The paper identifies RAmVOC neurons as critical for vocal pattern generation and vocal-respiratory coupling in mice.

The paper shows that vibrotactile touch reduces facial pain in mice by altering neural activity in the barrel cortex, integrating tactile and noxious signals.

The paper constructs an adult orofacial premotor atlas in mice by tracing premotor circuits and registering them to the Allen Mouse CCF, revealing spatial organization and coordination of motor nuclei.
