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

This study investigates the distinct roles of TRPV1 and TRPM2 in warm-temperature detection using cultured mouse DRG neurons and behavioral assays, revealing their unique contributions to thermal perception and decision-making.

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

The paper generates hESC-derived nociceptor-like cells and shows they exhibit mechano-nociceptive characteristics requiring PIEZO2 for mechanotransduction.
