Very excited to post our paper led by @daburke.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... where we uncover a simple mathematical rule underlying how brains learn that a cue predicts a reward. 1/26

Duration between rewards controls the rate of behavioral and dopaminergic learning - Nature Neuroscience
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 ...

Special thanks to Walter Cañedo Riedel, Kelsch lab, and @russoel.bsky.social lab for their contribution, where they analyzed the functional connectivity between OT and aPC and showed the recruitment of OT –| aPC circuit, providing a crucial link between these 2 brain regions.

Hung Lo 羅鴻 @hunglo.bsky.social · 15/08/2025
In this version, we identified the missing link in the last version, a circuit mechanism of how the olfactory cortex (aPC) is suppressed during binge feeding. It turns out to be the GABAergic neurons in the olfactory tubercle (OT)! OT neurons project to aPC and are activated during binge feeding!

Finally finding some time to read through the chaos. Mitral cells will prioritise the soma as spike initiation site upon weak stimuli from olfactory sensory neurons. However, when the stimulus is stronger, they switch to the dendrite! Cool stuff from 2002!

My lab studies both lab mice and naked mole rats. There is a belief amongst some that what we discover in mice will be universally true, and what we discover in naked mole rats will be a weird mole rat quirk. I believe this mouse-centric view of biological systems is very limiting.
