This study identifies two distance-coding schemes in mouse brainstem neurons during wall-passing behavior: a proximity code and a map code, with the map code providing better population decoding of distance.

The paper examines dopamine dynamics during cocaine and fentanyl self-administration in mice, identifying distinct patterns and developing a computational model to explain compulsive behavior.

This study identifies how the cortex encodes body schema through action-specific neural ensembles and reference frames in mice.

The paper tests a model predicting that granule cell excitability drives beta oscillations in the olfactory bulb through voltage-dependent calcium channels, using pharmacological manipulations.
