Midbrain endocannabinoids actuate dopamine-based action selection
Dopamine signals guide adaptive responses to reward- and threat-predictive cues, yet the mechanisms shaping these rapid dynamics remain unclear. Luján et al. identify midbrain endocannabinoid signalin...

Extremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum! Data are 🔥 👇 "Single-cell map of the female brain across reproductive transitions" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
