This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of the rostral pedunculotegmental nucleus disrupts cue-guided behavior in rats when stimulation overlaps with cue presentation, but not when it occurs before or after.

The paper proposes spatial and network principles for locomotion generation in the spinal cord using a mouse model and integrates single-cell RNA sequencing with spatial transcriptomics.

The paper investigates neural dynamics underlying walking and stopping in rats, finding locomotion follows a limit-cycle attractor and stopping transitions to a fixed-point attractor.

The paper investigates how PPN stimulation induces movement arrest in rats and shows it disrupts hippocampal theta rhythm without emotional components.

This paper develops AAV-delivered dimeric peptide inhibitors of PICK1 to alleviate neuropathic pain in mice, showing long-term relief without adverse effects.

This study investigates the role of GABAergic neurons in the rNST by optogenetically activating them and observing their impact on taste responses in non-GABAergic neurons.
