The paper identifies a collicular-hypothalamic pathway that signals social visual awareness to the oxytocin system, enhancing pup retrieval behavior in mice.

This study uses TUS and calcium imaging in awake mice to show focal effects on cortical activity and proposes a circuit model explaining these effects.

The paper shows maternal experience enhances midbrain integration of multi-syllable pup calls while suppressing subcortical excitation.

This study shows that tactile enrichment in mice enhances functional columnar organization and improves sensory coding in layer 2/3 of the somatosensory cortex.

This study investigates whisker map organization in awake mice during different behavioral tasks, finding that task demands alter the fine-scale structure and correlation patterns of whisker tuning in cortical neurons.
