The paper shows that CGRPPBel neurons encode opposing valence through frequency-dependent differential release of glutamate and neuropeptides in response to aversive and appetitive stimuli.

The paper identifies a neural circuit involving dACC to PnC neurons that slows breathing and alleviates negative affect in mice.

The paper develops two genetically encoded tools to monitor and silence neuropeptide release in vivo, revealing neuropeptides, not glutamate, as the primary transmitter in Pavlovian threat learning.

This study identifies a novel neural circuit involving PBLOprm1 neurons that regulates breathing, pain, and anxiety by linking limbic signals to respiratory control.
