Midbrain dopamine neurons are thought to play key roles in learning by conveying the
difference between expected and actual outcomes. Recent evidence suggests diversity in …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a hub for cognitive behaviors and is a key target for
neuroadaptations in alcohol use disorders. Recent advances in genetically encoded …

Head-fixation of mice enables high-resolution monitoring of neuronal activity coupled with
precise control of environmental stimuli. Virtual reality can be used to emulate the visual …

GlyT2-positive interneurons, Golgi and Lugaro cells, reside in the input layer of the
cerebellar cortex in a key position to influence information processing. Here, we examine the …

Experience dependent plasticity in the visual cortex is a key paradigm for the study of
mechanisms underpinning learning and memory. Despite this, studies involving …

Neural circuits consist of a myriad of distinct cell types, each with specific intrinsic properties
and patterns of synaptic connectivity, which transform neural input and convey this …

NMDAR-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity in brain regions like the hippocampus are
widely believed to provide the neural substrate for long-term associative memory formation …

Motor cortex plays a key role in controlling voluntary arm movements towards spatial targets.
The cortical representation of spatial information has been extensively studied and was …
