Highlights

We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.

    Sex-specific single transcript level atlas of vasopressin and its receptor (AVPR1a) in the mouse brain

    Anisa Azatovna Gumerova, Georgii Pevnev ... Vitaly Ryu
    Using RNAscope mapping provides the comprehensive, sex-specific atlas of vasopressin and its receptor gene expression across the murine brain, refining understanding of how vasopressin signaling is anatomically organized to regulate social behavior, stress responsivity, and homeostasis.

    Distinct representational properties of cues and contexts shape fear and reversal learning

    Antoine Bouyeure, Daniel Pacheco-Estefan ... Nikolai Axmacher
    Fear updating relies on a flexible shift from generalized to item-specific, context-bound neural representations, revealing how the brain adapts to changing threat contingencies and why fear can return.
