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

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.

This study shows that LPS-induced inflammation reduces social motivation and alters ultrasonic vocalizations in male mice, indicating inflammation's impact on social communication.

This study shows that visual category learning enhances category separability in monkey inferior temporal cortex by increasing category-selective neurons and prolonging their responses.

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

The paper introduces a convolutional neural network to estimate synaptic connectivity from spike trains without requiring parameter tuning, and applies it to construct neuronal circuit diagrams in monkey cortical areas.
