A subtype of ultrasonic vocalizations during highly palatable food consumption in rats identified by machine learning-assisted classification

The paper identifies a novel 40-kHz inverted-U ultrasonic vocalization subtype in rats during chocolate consumption using machine learning, showing it is opioid-modulated and linked to reward states.

CaMKII-LUZP1 signaling couples cytoskeletal acetylation and autophagy to drive neuronal plasticity

This study identifies the CaMKII-LUZP1 pathway that couples cytoskeletal acetylation and autophagy to regulate neuronal plasticity and ciliary homeostasis.

Unilateral damage to the entopeduncular nucleus causes forelimb motor dysfunction in rats

This study shows that damage to the entopeduncular nucleus in rats causes motor dysfunction, with motor recovery correlating with neuron preservation.
