This study shows that PGE2 induces a sickness-like state in mice, with the insular cortex encoding integrated sickness signals better than the somatosensory cortex.

This study shows that mice use saccades as part of a cognitive strategy during foraging, not just reflexively, and finds their timing reflects processing demands.

This paper reviews 266 rodent psychedelic studies to identify methodological gaps in preclinical research and proposes improvements for better translational relevance.

This study compares sustained attention dynamics across mice, monkeys, and humans using a shared VR task and hidden Markov models, finding greater similarity in attentional states than expected.

The paper compares human discrimination performance between oriented gratings and natural object morphs, finding that morphs are discriminated faster and over a larger range due to local color and texture features.

This study uses facial features from mice and monkeys to infer internal cognitive states during a foraging task, finding comparable state-task relationships across species.

The paper introduces a cost-effective, modular implant system for chronic electrophysiology in mice, improving ease of use, recovery, and experimental versatility.

The paper introduces a test to assess the relevance of trial-averaged neuronal metrics to neuronal computation, finding they are less relevant in less controlled settings.

DomeVR provides an immersive VR environment for neuroscience experiments using Unreal Engine 4, offering modular tools for task control, logging, and multi-species testing.

This study shows that ACC hypofunction in mice leads to anti-social aggression, with chemogenetic activation of ACC reducing this behavior.
