The paper shows that NPFF neurons in the caudal brainstem control gastric emptying and intestinal transit by responding to duodenal nutrient sensing.

The paper shows that intonation in mouse vocalizations is controlled by breath patterns generated by the iRO brainstem circuit, revealing a novel mechanism for pitch control.

This paper shows that β2-Arrestin germline knockout does not reduce opioid-induced respiratory depression in mice, challenging the biased agonist hypothesis.

The paper identifies a brainstem oscillator in neonatal mice that coordinates crying with breathing by structuring rhythmically-timed vocalizations.
