Age-related changes in behavioural and neural variability in a decision-making task

This study examines age-related changes in neural and behavioural variability during a decision-making task in mice, finding increased neural variability and reduced variability quenching in specific brain regions.

Facial expressions in mice reveal latent cognitive variables and their neural correlates

The paper uses facial expressions in mice to identify latent cognitive variables and their neural correlates, showing that facial features reflect computations beyond task demands.

A Brain-Wide Map of Neural Activity during Complex Behaviour

The paper presents a brain-wide neural activity map from 621,733 neurons across 139 mice performing a decision-making task, showing how neural activity encodes task variables across brain regions.

Neural responses underlying ITD discrimination as a function of sensory reliability in the barn owl

The paper examines how neural responses and behavioral ITD discrimination thresholds change with sensory reliability in barn owls, finding that neuronal discriminability predicts behavioral performance.

Lightning Pose: improved animal pose estimation via semi-supervised learning, Bayesian ensembling, and cloud-native open-source tools

Data architecture for a large-scale neuroscience collaboration

The paper describes a modular data architecture for a neuroscience collaboration, enabling data contribution, access, and analysis across multiple labs.

Standardized and reproducible measurement of decision-making in mice

This paper develops a standardized task for measuring decision-making in mice, showing reproducible results across multiple laboratories and providing a public dataset and tools.

A repertoire of foraging decision variables in the mouse brain

The paper identifies a repertoire of decision variables in the mouse brain during foraging, showing that the secondary motor cortex encodes multiple strategies beyond those directly used in the task.

Citric Acid Water as an Alternative to Water Restriction for High-Yield Mouse Behavior

The paper introduces citric acid water as an alternative to water restriction for motivating mice in behavioral tasks, showing it maintains performance without health risks.

Phasic activation of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons increases pupil-linked arousal

This study shows that transient serotonin activation in the dorsal raphe nucleus increases pupil size, independent of locomotion and dependent on environmental uncertainty.

Emergence of an adaptive command for orienting behavior in premotor brainstem neurons of barn owls

The paper shows how sensory reliability modulates premotor neuron firing rates to adjust sound localization behavior in barn owls.
