This study investigates whether visual observation of maternal behavior is sufficient for pup retrieval in pup-naive virgin mice, finding no significant difference in retrieval success between visual access and barrier conditions.

This study shows that inhibiting oxytocin receptor neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex promotes sociosexual behavior in female mice by regulating pyramidal neuron activity during decision-making.

The paper tests two hypotheses for hierarchical learning in the neocortex using in vitro and in vivo data, finding a discrepancy between neocortical learning and canonical machine learning.

The paper shows that the sinusoidal encoding of head direction in insect circuits is optimal for noise resilience when paired with sinusoidal connectivity, supported by anatomical data and Hebbian plasticity.

This paper proposes a biologically plausible deep learning framework using temporal Hebbian updates to model cortical hierarchies and supervised learning.
