The paper investigates genetic and neuronal factors influencing aggression in mice, finding strong genetic control and a role for VMHvl neurons.

The paper shows that repeated winning in male mice leads to three stages of plasticity in the VMHvl aggression circuit, enhancing generalized aggression.

The paper develops state-space models to analyze multi-fiber photometry data and links neural dynamics to social behaviors in mice.

The paper identifies a hypothalamic oxytocin circuit that mediates defeat-induced social avoidance learning in mice.

The paper investigates neural dynamics in the limbic system of male mice during sexual and aggressive behaviors, identifying distinct network states associated with each behavior.

This study uses a genetically encoded dopamine sensor to measure dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens during social behaviors in mice, revealing distinct patterns in different phases of social interaction.

The paper develops and optimizes GRABDA fluorescent sensors to monitor dopaminergic activity with high sensitivity and resolution in vivo.
