The paper identifies a specific dopamine neuron population in mice required for anticipatory locomotion during food anticipation, showing genetic dissociation of behavioral components.

This paper introduces a cell-type-specific circadian reporter mouse to study circadian rhythms in intestinal cells, finding that enteric neurons show distinct entrainment properties to feeding schedules.

The paper shows that endogenous circadian clock proteins form dynamic microbodies distinct from phase separation condensates, suggesting an enzyme-like mechanism in the circadian feedback loop.
