Bilaterian animals must integrate sensory input from both sides of their bodies to make coherent perceptual decisions. In Drosophila larvae, olfactory receptor neurons target the ipsilateral brain hem...

Neuropsychopharmacology - Acute fentanyl induces opposing directions of changes in tonic and phasic dopamine release patterns and impairs Pavlovian task performance

Piantadosi et al. show mice flexibly adjust choices between reward options based on the punishment potential in a BLA-dependent manner. They find that BLA neuronal representation of punishment reactiv...

We are looking for an up-and-coming researcher who wants to conduct pioneering research to take up a position as Assistant Professor in Computational Science. Computational science research is conduct

Expression of agouti signalling protein in neurons in the medial preoptic area is increased by group housing and negatively associated with care, and overexpression of Agouti reduces care and enhances...

People with aphantasia are offering a window into consciousness.

dos Santos Correa et al. show that exposure to a stressful context promotes the acquisition of rescue behavior in mice and that the dorsal hippocampus is required for this learning. Calcium imaging re...

Brain-body interactions are essential for physical and emotional homeostasis. The brain uses information from the external world to predict upcoming bodily changes. This process involves interoceptive...

Parenting behavior emerges from hormonally sensitive circuits, but how distinct circuit components are affected by, and contribute to, sex and state dependent changes in infant caregiving remains uncl...

The thermosensory system across insects and mammals has shared principles of neuronal wiring and encoding. In this Review, Carta, Vestergaard and Poulet discuss how the nervous systems of insects and ...

Psilocybin reshapes brain networks through activity-dependent plasticity, including a weakening of recurrent cortical loops that could underlie its therapeutic effects.

Combined behavioural, circuit-level and cellular approaches are used to demonstrate how hypothalamic neurons integrate hunger and oestrous state to drive a switch in how female mice interact with pups...

Many animal groups are organized hierarchically, which generates behavioral states that facilitate social interactions. Although generally stable, soc…

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of mouse hypothalamus and behavioural experiments show that specific hypothalamic networks regulate conflicting feeding versus parenting behaviours of female mice.

Nature Metabolism, Published online: 04 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01305-xIn this paper, the authors describe the energy state-dependent regulation of the PVNGLP-1R to DVC circuit, resulting in altered food intake and metabolic health, mediated by GLP-1 receptor signalling.

Stereo olfaction involves comparing odor differences between the two nostrils. Here, using neuronal recordings and a behavioral test, the authors demonstrate that blind mice use stereo olfaction to fo...

Cachexia, a severe wasting syndrome associated with inflammatory conditions, often leads to multiorgan failure and death. Patients with cachexia experience extreme fatigue, apathy, and clinical depres...
