The paper identifies a circuit involving DLS Pdyn neurons that links contextual cues to feeding regulation through inhibition of LHA GABAergic neurons.

The paper shows that nitrous oxide increases anterior cingulate cortex activity in mice, suggesting this activity reflects pain affect even under anesthesia.

This study identifies TRPC6 channels as mediators of neuropeptide-induced calcium signaling in VTA-DA neurons, showing state-dependent regulation of reward valuation and consummatory behavior.

The paper introduces ArgiNLS, a nuclear localization signal that improves image segmentation of single-cells by restricting fluorescent proteins to the nucleus, enhancing machine learning-based segmentation.

This study investigates how heroin-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) is associated with changes in dopamine and direct/indirect pathway activity in the nucleus accumbens of rats.
