HERO reduces and refines whole-brain atlas-mapped cellular datasets by performing hierarchy-aware selection, refinement, and visualization, improving interpretability and reproducibility.

The paper compares three methods for analyzing spontaneous dopamine signals and finds that z-scoring is unreliable, while manual and prominence methods are more accurate.

This study identifies a mid-insula to BNST neural circuit that drives stress susceptibility and negative affect during abstinence in female mice, suggesting it as a therapeutic target for AUD.

This study shows early life psychosocial stress increases binge ethanol consumption, and microglia inhibition reduces this effect and normalizes microglial population density.

This study shows that KOR activation reduces dopamine release and increases uptake, leading to decreased spontaneous dopamine signals in both male and female mice.

The paper introduces PiRATeMC, an affordable and flexible system for high-quality video recording in behavioral neuroscience using Raspberry Pi Camera Boards.

This study shows that inhibiting diacylglycerol lipase reduces alcohol consumption in preclinical models and prevents ethanol-induced suppression of GABAergic transmission without causing anxiety or depression.
