The transmembrane protein Kit Ligand and the Kit receptor tyrosine kinase are required for synapse function between specific cell types in the mouse cerebellum.
Brain lactate and pH changes, identified as common features in diverse neuropsychiatric animal models, may represent transdiagnostic endophenotypes associated with cognitive impairment.
Striatal neurons preferentially fire at specific phases of the gait cycle, and the strength of gait encoding is selectively increased in indirect pathway neurons following dopamine lesions.
A new Bayesian algorithm for tracking subjects’ choice strategies on every trial reveals when subjects learn and what they tried while doing so, providing strong evidence that reward- and loss-driven exploration change independently.
