This paper proposes a biophysical model of striatal microcircuits showing how dopamine modulates gamma and beta oscillations interleaved at delta/theta frequencies to enable periodic motor control.

The paper investigates hippocampal circuit abnormalities in MeCP2+/- mice, finding hyperexcitability during the prodromal phase of Rett syndrome.

This study shows that octopamine release during courtship training in Drosophila reduces the aversive impact of failed mating, leading to less suppression of courtship behavior.
