During visual search, the choice of where to look next is biased to a remarkable degree by the location and color histories of recently viewed target stimuli.
During reaching in mice, forelimb premotor cortex has a stronger influence on primary motor cortex than vice versa, but several functional connectivity measures fail to reflect this asymmetry.
Projection-specific optogenetic and chemogenetic experiments reveal a hippocampal-lateral septal pathway that potentially acts via the ventral tegmental area to regulate social novelty preference behaviors.

Otoacoustic emissions recorded noninvasively from the ear canal accurately predict cochlear frequency tuning in an avian species, in contrast to previously tested classical behavioral methods.
AgRP1, a feeding-related peptide in the brain, facilitates feeding behavior of female medaka in the breeding season, which is important for reproductive success.
Highly compulsive individuals set fewer reminders, partly due to inflated confidence and partly due to compulsivity itself, revealing how individual differences shape the strategic reminder use in daily life.
