Topographic structure and function of locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons

The paper identifies topographic organization in locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons, linking their morphology, gene expression, and activity to specific brain regions and learning-related behaviors.

Brain-wide neural activity underlying memory-guided movement

The paper records brain-wide neural activity in mice during a memory-guided task, showing distributed coding of choice and action across brain regions.

Enhancer-AAVs allow genetic access to oligodendrocytes and diverse populations of astrocytes across species

The paper develops AAV-based genetic tools to specifically target astrocytes and oligodendrocytes across species, revealing functional roles in reward-dependent acetylcholine responses.

Brain mechanism of foraging: reward-dependentsynaptic plasticity or neural integration of values?

This study compares two models of action value encoding in foraging behavior and finds the synaptic model more robust based on experimental predictions.

Accurate localization of linear probe electrodes across multiple brains

The paper develops a workflow to accurately localize electrodes in Neuropixels probes across multiple brains using imaging and electrophysiological data.

Neural Correlates of Optimal Multisensory Decision Making

The paper shows that the brain integrates multisensory inputs optimally using a simple linear combination of neural activity, consistent with an invariant linear probabilistic population code.
