Reverse engineering placebo analgesia

This study demonstrates that conditioning with activation of a central pain-suppressing circuit can engineer placebo analgesia in mice, showing that context-dependent pain relief can be achieved through learned associations.

Transgenic Targeting of Fcrls Creates a Highly Efficient Constitutively Active Microglia Cre Line with Differentiated Specificity

This paper introduces a constitutively active microglia-specific Cre line, Fcrls-2A-Cre, with high recombination efficiency and specificity, suitable for studies where tamoxifen is not feasible.

A marmoset brain cell census reveals influence of developmental origin and functional class on neuronal identity

The paper analyzes single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from marmoset brain cells to show that neuronal identity is more influenced by developmental origin than functional class.

Brainstem premotor mechanisms underlying vocal production and vocal-respiratory coordination

The paper identifies RAmVOC neurons as critical for vocal pattern generation and vocal-respiratory coupling in mice.
