The paper analyzes 292 disease-relevant deleterious variants in 486,956 participants to assess their risk differences, finding most have minimal impact.

The paper inhibits interareal inputs to the whisker primary somatosensory cortex during whisking and finds that inputs from the thalamus and secondary somatosensory cortex, not the motor cortex, drive neuronal activity changes.

This study identifies neural mechanisms for uninstructed orofacial movements during reward-based learning in mice, showing distinct roles of dopamine and motor cortex circuits.
