Phasic dopamine cell body activity and release in the nucleus accumbens differentially respond to the taste of sucrose in correlation with its hedonic valuation.

Acetylcholine in the prefrontal cortex modulates the impact of surprising outcomes on learning and decision-making.

A population of neurons in the hypothalamus promotes social behaviors in female mice following a period of short-term social isolation.

Findings challenge the neural noise hypothesis of dyslexia, showing no differences in excitatory/inhibitory balance between individuals with dyslexia and controls.

Combining biologically-plausible neural network models of vision with traditional decision-making models enables a detailed characterization of how the visual system extracts representations that guide decisions from raw sensory inputs.

The buildup of knot-like RNA structures in brain cells may be the key to understanding how uncontrolled protein aggregation drives Alzheimer’s disease.

This frontostriatal neural network model links the source of working memory capacity limitations to challenges in learning resource management, and mitigates this challenge by learning a 'chunking' strategy.

Common principles of white matter microstructure and pathway organisation was revealed using diffusion MRI and x-ray synchrotron imaging across resolutions, and employing diffusion tensor, micro-tensor, multi-fiber, and structure tensor models.

3D electron microscopy provides the first extensive quantitative ultrastructural dataset of synapses of the human entorhinal cortex.
