This paper develops an object detection model to improve estrous cycle staging accuracy in mice, achieving 87% accuracy compared to 33-45% and 66% from previous methods.

The paper shows that chronic stress increases activity in PeFAUcn3 neurons in female mice, which mediates stress-induced deficits in infant-directed behavior.

This study identifies PeFAUcn3 neurons as a circuit controlling infant-directed neglect and aggression by linking their activation to specific behavioral responses.
