A mosaic adeno-associated virus vector as a versatile tool that exhibits high levels of transgene expression and neuron specificity in primate brain

The paper develops a mosaic AAV vector that achieves high transgene expression and neuron specificity in primate brains, enabling effective chemogenetic manipulation and calcium imaging.

Analysis of convolutional neural networks reveals the computational properties essential for subcortical processing of facial expression

The paper analyzes convolutional neural networks to identify computational properties essential for subcortical facial expression processing and finds that these properties constrain accuracy and SF representation.

Rapid responses of amygdala neurons discriminate facial expressions

The paper identifies rapid, emotion-selective responses in monkey amygdala neurons to facial expressions within 50 ms, suggesting a subcortical pathway's role in threat detection.
