Neuropixels Opto: Combining high-resolution electrophysiology and optogenetics

The paper introduces Neuropixels Opto probes that combine high-resolution electrophysiology with optogenetics for spatially addressable neuronal manipulation and recording.

AgRP Neuron Activity Predicts and Tracks the Glycemic Response to Oral Glucose

The paper investigates the two-phase response of AgRP neurons to oral glucose and finds that the second phase tracks glycemic response and aligns with blood glucose rate of change.

Single-cell sequencing of rodent ventral pallidum reveals diverse neuronal subtypes with non-canonical interregional continuity

This study identifies diverse neuronal subtypes in the rodent ventral pallidum using single-nucleus RNA-seq and shows their non-canonical interregional continuity.

Simultaneous mesoscopic measurement and manipulation of mouse cortical activity

This paper develops a system to simultaneously record and manipulate mesoscopic cortical activity in awake mice, enabling study of its effects on behavior and subcortical activity.

A stable, distributed code for cue value in mouse cortex during reward learning

This study identifies stable, distributed coding of cue value in mouse prefrontal cortex during reward learning.

Dissociable control of unconditioned responses and associative fear learning by parabrachial CGRP neurons

The paper investigates how parabrachial CGRP neurons control unconditioned responses and associative fear learning through distinct neural projections.
