This study shows rats exhibit visceral responses, including heart rate variability and facial expressions, during metacognitive tasks involving mistake detection and feedback.

The paper links prefrontal cortex activity to response vigor and arousal in rats performing a Go/NoGo task.

This study shows that beta oscillations in the motor cortex precede stopping in rats, but have limited utility for real-time decoding.

This study analyzes LC neuron firing patterns across species and biological factors, revealing diverse activity patterns and subregions enriched for specific factors and disease models.

The paper shows that acute stress causes network disconnection in the brain, and coping leads to a new network state rather than returning to baseline.

The paper studies how mouse V1 neurons respond to the illusory 'darker than black' neon color spreading illusion, finding that a majority of neurons respond with direction tuning and phase shifts, indicating V1 involvement in illusory brightness processing.

This paper introduces ultraflexible electrodes that enable low-threshold, high-resolution, and chronically stable intracortical microstimulation in mice, with no neuronal degeneration or glial scarring observed.

This study shows that a brightness illusion that causes pupil constriction in humans also does so in rats, with V1 cortex activity preceding the pupil response.

The paper shows that perceptual attention in one sensory modality affects subsequent outcome-based learning in another modality by altering cortico-cortical interactions in rats.

This study examines the effects of three water restriction schedules on rodent growth, hydration, and stress hormone levels over 80 days, finding no dehydration but differential stress responses.

The paper identifies top-down control of locus coeruleus activity by prefrontal cortex high gamma oscillations during anesthesia in rats.

The paper identifies distinct ensembles in the locus coeruleus that evoke different cortical states in rats using non-negative matrix factorization.

This study investigates the neuromodulatory function of the locus coeruleus in rats, finding that most LC neurons do not synchronize and that synchronized activity is restricted to specific projection patterns.
