    Individual differences in tail risk sensitive exploration using Bayes-adaptive Markov decision processes

    Tingke Shen, Peter Dayan
    A normative computational model of individual differences in mouse exploration driven by reward and threat uncertainty as well as risk sensitivity when faced with a novel object in an open field.

    C. elegans food choice exhibits effort discounting-like behavior

    Jonathan RM Millet, Serge Faumont ... Shawn R Lockery
    The demonstration of effort discounting-like behavior in a lower invertebrate sets a new phylogenetic boundary on discounting behavior.

    Cross-species standardised cortico-subcortical tractography

    Stephania Assimopoulos, Shaun Warrington ... Stamatios N Sotiropoulos
    By providing new ways to map cortico-subcortical connectivity patterns, the proposed cross-species tractography approaches directly allow novel comparative studies between the human and macaque brain and enable subsequent explorations of brain-behaviour/disease symptom associations across individuals.

    Complex opioid-driven modulation of glutamatergic and cholinergic neurotransmission in a GABAergic brain nucleus associated with emotion, reward, and addiction

    Ramesh Chittajallu, Anna Vlachos ... Chris J McBain
    A pharmacogenetic approach provides a foundational dataset describing the influence of opioids on synaptic processing in a brain microcircuit known to be critical for driving hedonic behaviors.

    Center-surround inhibition in expectation and its underlying computational and artificial neural network models

    Ling Huang, Shiqi Shen ... Xilin Zhang
    Expectation optimizes perception through center-surround inhibition, enhancing expected representations while suppressing similar, irrelevant ones.
