   Whole-brain connectivity atlas of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the mouse dorsal and median raphe nuclei

   Zhengchao Xu et al.

   Whole-brain quantitative input-output circuits of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons in the mouse dorsal and median raphe nuclei were mapped using viral tracing and high-resolution optical imaging.

   A conserved neuropeptide system links head and body motor circuits to enable adaptive behavior

   Shankar Ramachandran et al.

   Investigation of neuromodulatory control of ethologically conserved area-restricted food search behavior shows that NLP-12 stimulation of the head motor circuit promotes food searching through the previously uncharacterized CKR-1 GPCR.

   Metabolomic profiling reveals a differential role for hippocampal glutathione reductase in infantile memory formation

   Benjamin Bessières et al.

   Hippocampal metabolomic analyses following episodic learning at different ages revealed a critical role for neuronal glutathione reductase activity in long-term infantile memory formation.

   Attention network modulation via tRNS correlates with attention gain

   Federica Contò et al.

   Parietal noninvasive brain stimulation during perceptual training causes a dramatic increase in learning that correlates with network-wide changes in functional connectivity, demonstrating the stimulation-induced physiological mechanisms leading to cognitive benefits.

   Circuits for integrating learned and innate valences in the insect brain

   Claire Eschbach et al.

   Electron-microscopy reconstruction and experimental investigation in Drosophila reveal how adaptive action emerges from the multi-level interactions between the output of the olfactory memory center and the innate olfactory pathway.

   Subpopulations of neurons in lOFC encode previous and current rewards at time of choice

   David L Hocker et al.

   A distinct subpopulation of neurons in the rat orbitofrontal cortex encodes reward history at the time of choice, providing a potential neural substrate by which reward history may influence decisions.

    Visualizing synaptic plasticity in vivo by large-scale imaging of endogenous AMPA receptors

    Austin R Graves et al.

    A knockin mouse line was made to label endogenous AMPA receptors, enabling direct observation of synaptic plasticity in behaving animals with single-synapse resolution across the entire brain.
