This study identifies diverse neuronal subtypes in the rodent ventral pallidum using single-nucleus RNA-seq and shows their non-canonical interregional continuity.

Single cell RNA sequencing reveals how adolescent sex hormones sculpt hypothalamic cell types required for mating behavior.

The paper identifies Neurotensin-expressing neurons in the lateral septum as critical for opioid withdrawal by showing their activation and role in regulating withdrawal behaviors.

This paper introduces a new Hoxb8FlpO mouse line and intersectional genetics-viral strategy to target and manipulate developmentally defined adult spinal circuits.

The paper shows individual differences in behavior and functional connectivity are explained by variability in the sampling of cortex-wide neural dynamics.

The paper shows that endogenous acetylcholine signaling in the nucleus accumbens mediates cocaine extinction by modulating synaptic strength similarly across medium spiny neuron subtypes.
