Sympathetic innervation of interscapular brown adipose tissue is not a predominant mediator of OT-elicited reductions of body weight gain and adiposity in male diet-induced obese rats

This study investigates whether sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue mediates oxytocin-induced weight loss in diet-induced obese rats, finding it is not required.

Sympathetic innervation of interscapular brown adipose tissue is not a predominant mediator of oxytocin-elicited reductions of body weight and adiposity in male diet-induced obese mice

This study shows that sympathetic innervation of interscapular brown adipose tissue is not required for oxytocin-induced weight loss and thermogenesis in diet-induced obese mice.

A large-scale, standardized physiological survey reveals higher order coding throughout the mouse visual cortex

The paper presents a large-scale dataset of neural activity in the mouse visual cortex and shows that responses to different stimuli are largely independent, suggesting multi-layer hierarchical computation.
