The paper introduces a benchmark dataset and tool for cross-lab quantification of mouse social behavior, achieving high-resolution and reproducible classification.

The paper identifies a neural circuit regulating feeding bout fragmentation through activity in the dorsal subiculum to mammillary body pathway.

The paper identifies parabrachial neurons expressing the NPY Y1 receptor as a hub that suppresses sustained pain through NPY signaling.

This paper transfers brain-computer interface decoders from monkeys to humans, showing that motor-related neural representations are consistent across species and reducing the need for extensive data.

This paper improves brain-computer interface decoding accuracy over time using Cycle-GAN and ADAN methods, outperforming linear methods with minimal data requirements.

The paper investigates the neural mechanisms of antipsychotic drugs by comparing their effects on D1- and D2-receptor-expressing spiny-projection neurons in mice, finding that modulating D1-SPNs correlates with therapeutic efficacy.

The paper analyzes striatal ensemble activity during self-grooming in mice, identifying functional ensembles that show distinct grooming-related dynamics.

The paper identifies an approximate line attractor in the VMHvl that encodes aggression intensity through slow-ramping dynamics in Esr1 neurons.

The paper identifies local neural subnetworks in jellyfish that coordinate feeding behavior without centralized control.

The paper introduces MARS, a software pipeline for automated analysis of social behaviors in mice, achieving human-level performance in pose estimation and behavior classification.

The paper shows that persistent neural activity in VMHdmSF1 neurons mediates anxiety-like behavior after exposure to threatening stimuli, without relying on hardwired circuits.

The paper identifies pCd neurons in Drosophila that integrate P1 input to promote persistent behavioral states related to courtship and aggression.

The paper introduces a dynamic model of the Drosophila olfactory system to study how Kenyon Cells represent natural odors and enable odor-specific associative learning.
