This study shows that vagus nerve stimulation activates the default mode network, enhancing cognitive behaviors, while vagal-independent mechanisms affect the salience network.

The paper identifies distinct noradrenergic subsystems in the locus coeruleus that dynamically respond to varying levels of social stress, influencing traumatic learning and anxiety.

The paper introduces a high-resolution volumetric imaging system for observing cellular dynamics in large 3D tissues and embryos, demonstrating its application in mouse brain and quail embryo studies.
