The paper tests the Spatial Computing hypothesis by analyzing alpha/beta oscillations in non-human primates, finding they organize task-related information and constrain sensory expression in space.

This study shows that infralimbic parvalbumin neurons suppress freezing to enable threat avoidance in mice.

This study identifies that male ejaculation, specifically the mechanical stimulation during penile cupping and fluid expulsion, activates serotonin neurons in mating female mice.

The paper investigates how prefrontal cortex neurons encode time during working memory tasks and finds that non-linear mixed selectivity allows for the maintenance of timing information for the most recent stimulus.

The paper analyzes spiking and LFP data from monkey prefrontal cortex to show task-related reductions in spike variability can co-exist with intermittent spiking.

This study shows that tonic activity in lateral habenula neurons promotes disengagement from reward-seeking behavior, with no similar activity in VTA dopamine neurons.

The paper proposes spatial computing as a mechanism for WM control, finding low-dimensional spatial activity that encodes control-related information in prefrontal cortex.

Longitudinal fiber photometry in mice shows midbrain dopamine ramping appears immediately in novel spatial navigation, fades as cues become familiar, and persists when an internal distance model is required.

This paper quantifies optimal parameters for 1300-nm three-photon calcium imaging in mice to balance fidelity and tissue heating.

The paper examines gamma and beta oscillations during working memory tasks in monkeys, finding that changes in their balance correlate with information processing and behavioral outcomes.

This paper shows that Hebbian learning in a random neural network can replicate mixed selectivity properties observed in prefrontal cortex neurons during complex tasks.
