This study shows that D1 medium spiny neurons in the ventral striatum show increased selectivity for reward-paired cues during learning, while D2 neurons show less change, indicating a dynamic role for D1 neurons in stimulus discrimination.

This paper introduces a high-throughput method for studying retinal ganglion cell projections, physiology, and morphology across species without relying on genetically modified animals.

The paper compares epifluorescence, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry for assessing viral-mediated gene expression in macaques, finding that the latter two methods detect more transduced neurons and provide better visualization.
