A combination of electrophysiological and optogenetic approaches revealed a causal role for glutamatergic neurons in the prelimbic cortex in regulating individual differences in decision-making strategies during a threat-avoidance vs. reward-approach conflict paradigm in rats.

Four stages of linear and nonlinear computations in hierarchical dynamic brain networks progressively transform the same two visual inputs into the task-specific XOR, AND, and OR behavioral responses.
When artificial networks modeled on a Drosophila neuron are tasked with discriminating objects on collision course from other visual scenes, their optimized solutions reproduce many functional features of the original loom-selective neuron.

A brain MRI imaging study on brain and manual lateralisation in 50 baboons shows that communicative manual gesturing is related to a Broca's area marker.
Development of imaging methods to capture neural activity and structure through the intact cuticle using 2-photon and 3-photon excitation in the genetic model organism, Drosophila melanogaster.

A computational model of the initial visual encoding together with Bayesian image reconstruction quantifies how that encoding, combined with the statistical regularities of natural images, shapes key aspects of visual perception.

Simultaneous sampling of electrical voltages outside the brain with neural signals in the cerebral cortex reveals how electrical currents in mosaics of cortical columns produce an electrical signal that can be measured noninvasively to assess the allocation of attention.

Systematic testing of experimental variables in a common neurobehavioral paradigm revealed that conditions that more closely match human physiology reliably elicit stress eating in mice.

A functional connectivity gradient in striatum is obtained that maps onto DaT SPECT-derived dopaminergic projections and thereby likely provides a new biomarker for investigating dopaminergic (dys)function in the human brain.
