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.

This study uses calcium imaging in mice to identify population-level neural activity in the medial prefrontal cortex during avoidance learning, showing that avoidance-related activity predicts behavior and distinguishes between different learned actions.

This study identifies striatum-projecting prefrontal cortex neurons as critical for spatial working memory maintenance in mice.
