Differential behavioral effects of systemic oxytocin receptor blockade across social tasks and hierarchical ranks in male mice

This study investigates how systemic oxytocin receptor blockade affects social behaviors in male mice, finding task- and rank-dependent effects.

Disruption of ultrasonic vocalizations with systemic administration of the non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist MK-801 in adult male mice

This study examines how MK-801, an NMDA receptor antagonist, affects ultrasonic vocalizations and social behavior in male mice.

Systemic administration of the mGluR2/3 antagonist LY341495 disrupts reward-related behaviors across ingestive and social domains in mice

This study shows that LY341495, an mGluR2/3 antagonist, reduces reward-related behaviors in mice across ingestive and social domains without affecting general motor function.

Multidimensional characterization of the physiological and behavioral effects of TCB-2 in mice

This study examines the effects of TCB-2 on multiple physiological and behavioral measures in mice, finding distinct effects across different metrics and partial modulation by a 5-HT2A antagonist.

Homeostatic Control on the Thought: a Comprehensive Explanation of Mind Wandering

This study proposes a homeostatic reinforcement learning model to explain mind-wandering, showing it aligns with empirical findings on human thought transitions.

Scopolamine-induced cholinergic disruption impairs temporal prediction in head-fixed mice

This study shows that scopolamine impairs temporal prediction in mice by increasing timing variability without changing the average peak time.

Extinction burst could be explained by curiosity-driven reinforcement learning

This study shows that extinction bursts in mice can be explained by curiosity-driven reinforcement learning, linking intrinsic motivation to behavioral responses.
