This study identifies systemic metabolic differences between mice with high and low responsiveness to environmental changes, linking behavior to metabolic signatures.

This study assesses the effects of chemogenetic inhibition on vocalizations in songbirds, finding species-specific responses and higher drug concentrations needed compared to mice.

This study shows that chemogenetic activation of astrocytes with DREADDs causes persistent transcriptomic changes and functional plasticity.

This study identifies the orbitofrontal cortex's role in consolidating recurrent choice patterns into a fixed action schema in rodents.

The paper introduces a behavioral analysis system for songbirds to objectively infer attention during social interactions, revealing eye use and attentional changes in zebra finches.

The paper identifies REST and LEF1 as key transcription factors involved in depression recovery by analyzing TF-activity profiles in stressed mice and showing drug effects on their activity.
