The paper investigates the neural mechanisms of antipsychotic drugs by comparing their effects on D1- and D2-receptor-expressing spiny-projection neurons in mice, finding that modulating D1-SPNs correlates with therapeutic efficacy.

The paper investigates the commissural projections of NPY neurons in the inferior colliculus, finding they exhibit a divergent and heterotopic pattern compared to non-NPY neurons.

The paper identifies a novel class of GABAergic projection neurons in the inferior colliculus expressing neuropeptide Y and shows they regulate circuit excitability through NPY and GABA signaling.
