This study shows that oxytocin signaling is essential for mice to form stable social bonds in complex groups, as mice with impaired oxytocin-related social sensory processing failed to join cohesive cliques.

The paper shows that striatal activity changes in a way consistent with dopamine-driven representation learning during reinforcement learning tasks.

The paper shows that sniffing rhythm temporally organizes information flow between the olfactory tubercle and dopamine neurons during odor-guided learning, shaping predictive coding in reinforcement learning.

The paper uses long-term tracking of male mice to show that social rank is stable and influenced by individual behaviors, with chasing linked to rank negotiation.

This study shows binge feeding increases food intake by suppressing olfactory flavor representation in the anterior piriform cortex through specific neuronal activity patterns.

This study uses a cross-scale approach to identify how reward predictions are coded in the ventral striatum during olfactory conditioning in mice.

The paper shows that phasic dopamine enhances the distinct encoding and perceived salience of stimuli in mice by inducing plasticity in neural populations.
