The paper shows that a shared midbrain circuit in singing mice generates distinct vocal modes through parametric modulation, revealing a mechanism for behavioral flexibility.

The paper introduces ADePT, a method for mapping neural circuit functional connectivity using optogenetic stimulation and two-photon imaging in mice.

The paper identifies an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in olfactory circuits that preserves odor concentration information through diverse second-order neuron responses, despite flat population-level averages.

The paper identifies a 200% expansion of orofacial motor cortical projections to auditory and midbrain regions in singing mice, suggesting a mechanism for vocal behavior evolution.

The paper investigates neural dynamics in the rodent motor cortex during vocal production, showing temporal scaling of premotor firing patterns enables vocal flexibility.

The paper identifies a non-canonical feedforward pathway for odor recognition mediated by tufted cells in the olfactory bulb, challenging the traditional role of the piriform cortex.
