The paper identifies electrophysiological diversity in lateral habenula neurons in mice and links firing patterns to aversive stimuli and behavioral states.

This study shows that synaptic inhibition in the lateral habenula of mice is crucial for reward anticipation, as enhancing GABAergic transmission increases anticipatory licking behavior.

This study shows that prenatal THC exposure does not alter mesolimbic dopamine function or behavior in female rats, unlike males.
