Neuronal normalization in monkey MT is an intensity-weighted average

The paper shows that intensity-weighted normalization explains variability in neuronal responses in macaque MT and accounts for spontaneous activity as excitatory drive.

A contextual fear conditioning paradigm in head-fixed mice exploring virtual reality.

This paper develops a virtual reality-based contextual fear conditioning paradigm for head-fixed mice, demonstrating freezing behavior and hippocampal CA1 neuron remapping similar to freely moving animals.

Changing reward expectation transforms spatial encoding and retrieval in the hippocampus

This study shows that reward expectation alters place cell dynamics and enhances spatial memory encoding and retrieval in the hippocampus.
