Dual cholinergic mechanisms for sculpting striatal dopamine in vivo

The paper identifies two distinct cholinergic mechanisms for modulating striatal dopamine release in vivo, revealing a fast monosynaptic and a slower polysynaptic pathway.

Inhibition mediated by group III mGluRs regulates habenula activity and defensive behaviors

This study shows that group III mGluR-mediated inhibition in the habenula regulates sensory processing and defensive behaviors in zebrafish and mice.

Functional properties of habenular neurons are determined by developmental stage and sequential neurogenesis

This study shows that habenular neurons develop sequentially, with their functional properties determined by their birthdate during development.

Interhemispheric connections between olfactory bulbs improve odor detection

The paper shows that interhemispheric connections in zebrafish olfactory bulbs enhance odor detection by modulating neural responses to pheromones in complex environments.
