Bridge protein-mediated viral targeting of cells expressing endogenous μ-opioid G protein-coupled receptors in the mouse and monkey brain

The paper develops a nontransgenic method using bridge proteins to target viral vectors to cells expressing endogenous μ-opioid receptors in mouse and monkey brains.

Multiple types of navigational information are independently encoded in the population activities of the dentate gyrus neurons

This study decodes multiple navigational information types from DG neuron activity in mice, showing independent encoding of position, speed, motion direction, and future location.

Microstimulation of primate neocortex targeting striosomes induces negative decision-making

This study shows that microstimulation of specific prefrontal cortex regions in non-human primates induces negative decision-making by targeting striosomes in the anterior striatum.
