This study identifies the lncRNA Dory as essential for female spatial memory and balance, with no effect in males, using CRISPR and RNA sequencing in mice.

This study shows that reference point-dependent reinforcement learning, involving relative value encoding, is conserved in humans and rats despite some species-specific differences in behavioural and computational parameters.

The paper shows that variability in action timing, mediated by the M1[->]DLS circuit, is crucial for adapting action sequences in a two-lever instrumental task in mice.

This study identifies the role of amygdala-cortical interactions in striatal plasticity during goal-directed learning, showing that BLA input to PL is necessary for corticostriatal potentiation.
