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 shows that the oxytocin receptor regulates specific aspects of pair bonding and promiscuity in prairie voles by controlling gene expression and neural mechanisms.

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.

This study shows that Kv4.3 and BKCa1.1 ion channels regulate dopamine neuron firing and release on different time scales, influencing distinct phases of reinforced behavior in mice.

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.
