Dopamine neurons drive basal forebrain reward prediction in milliseconds

The paper shows that dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area causally drive basal forebrain bursting neurons to propagate reward prediction signals on a millisecond timescale.

A subset of dorsal raphe dopamine neurons is critical for survival-oriented vigilance.

This study identifies a subset of dorsal raphe dopamine neurons (DRNVIP) critical for regulating threat assessment and defensive behaviors through feedback loops with the central extended amygdala.

Into the deep: The subthalamic and para-subthalamic nuclei in behavioral avoidance

This study investigates the role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and its adjacent para-STN in behavioral avoidance using optogenetics and electrophysiology in mice.

Encoding social preference by interhemispheric neurons in the Insula

This study identifies interhemispheric Insula neurons in mice and shows their role in social and anxiety processing through electrophysiology and circuit manipulation.

Aversion encoded in the subthalamic nucleus

This study identifies the subthalamic nucleus (STN) as a critical hub for aversion, mediated through an STN-VP-LHb pathway.

Optogenetic investigation into the role of the subthalamic nucleus in motor control

This study uses optogenetics to investigate the role of the subthalamic nucleus in motor control by comparing excitation and inhibition effects in mice.
