This study identifies a fast-onset, body-part-specific stickiness response system in rats, driven by forepaw skin afferents and involving specific behaviors and neural responses.

The paper shows that inducing backward movement in Drosophila engages dopaminergic punishment and supports aversive memories, explaining the avoidance paradox.

PsychRNN is a Python package for training RNNs on cognitive tasks, enabling neuroscience research with accessible, flexible, and extensible tools.

The paper benchmarks spike rate inference algorithms for two-photon calcium imaging data and finds that top-performing algorithms show high correlation despite diverse approaches.
