This study shows that innate avoidance of heights is refined by noradrenergic signaling and prefrontal cortex experience, without external reinforcement.

The paper shows that gustatory cortex neurons in mice represent taste stimuli based on their palatability, with neural patterns reflecting consumption decisions after conditioned taste aversion.

The paper investigates neuromodulator dynamics in mice during a naturalistic reward-threat task, finding distinct roles for norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in encoding motivational states.

This study examines how familiarity with taste stimuli affects population-level taste coding in mouse gustatory cortex, finding reduced active cells and increased response magnitude with experience.
