Cue–reward learning rate scales proportionally with the time between rewards. Consequently, learning over a fixed duration is independent of the number of trials. This challenges trial-based dopamine ...

Nature Neuroscience - Bergel et al. show that an infraslow rhythm connecting the brain and body during sleep is shared by lizards, mammals and birds, revealing an ancestral process and reshaping...

Binge feeding commonly leads to overeating. Experiencing flavor during food consumption contributes to satiation. Still, the interactions between flav…

Lo et al. show that binge feeding suppresses piriform (olfactory) cortex activity, reducing the brain’s representation of food flavor. This suppression is driven by the olfactory tubercle and promotes...

The integration of spatial and emotional components into episodic memory relies on coordinated interactions between hippocampal circuits and emotion-processing regions. While the dorsal hippocampus (d...

Learning-induced changes in primary sensory neurons support concentration-invariant perception of an odor.

Mice generalize complex task structures by using neurons in the medial frontal cortex that encode progress to task goals and embed behavioural sequences.

Genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) allow optical recording of membrane potential from targeted cells in vivo. However, red GEVIs that are compatible with two-photon microscopy and that can...
