Camus is a video-based system for continuous behavioral monitoring in mouse home cages, capturing circadian patterns and behavioral deficits in transgenic mice.

The paper distinguishes between spontaneous and stimulus-driven acetylcholine dynamics in sensory and prefrontal cortex using genetically encoded sensors and multivariate modeling in awake mice.

The paper identifies distinct roles of three DRN dopamine neuron projections in social behavior and affective states through optogenetic and electrophysiological experiments.

This study shows that basal forebrain cholinergic activation modulates amygdala neuron activity based on reward contingency, affecting conditioned behavior but not unconditioned responses.

The paper shows that during threat learning, BLA cholinergic inputs and corticofugal projections are reorganized to support sensory processing changes in mice.

The paper investigates the role of the MGN-BLA circuit in associative learning, finding that the MGN encodes arousal but not valence, while the BLA encodes both.

The paper identifies a functional topography in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons that differentiates their responses to sensory cues and reinforcement outcomes in mice.

The paper shows that food deprivation rapidly shifts the balance between BLA neurons projecting to NAc and CeM, altering valence coding and reward motivation.

This study shows that acute stress in female mice leads to long-lasting changes in dopaminergic system function and behavior.
