Sexual motivation is a complex concept involving both the initial drive to begin mating and the motivation to sustain copulation. Disruptions in sexua…

Author summary Activity in the brain represents information about the outside world and how we interact with it. Recent evidence shows that these representations slowly change day to day, while memori...

Flexible behaviour requires transforming abstract cognitive representations, such as value preferences, into concrete motor actions. During economic decision-making, individuals evaluate options to gu...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly prescribed to pregnant women due to their efficacy and safety profile, leading to potenti…

The brain reward system is essential for regulating appetitive and consummatory behaviors in response to various incentive stimuli. Junk food, charact…

Movement-sensing neurons in the striatum influence a mouse’s choice of action by favoring routine behaviors.

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is a prevalent form of focal epilepsy characterized by seizures originating from the hippocampus and adjacent reg…

Dopaminergic action prediction error signals are used by mice as a value-free teaching signal to reinforce stable sound–action associations in the tail of the striatum.

Dopaminergic action prediction error signals are used by mice as a value-free teaching signal to reinforce stable sound–action associations in the tail of the striatum.

The phenomenon of representational drift (i.e., changing neuronal tuning during repeated exposure to the same stimuli), is a fundamental paradox in neuroscience that raises the question how stable beh...

Neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) show spatially modulated activities. Muysers et al. show that mPFC neurons fall into distinct functional classes that differ in terms of their spatial tu...

Competing for resources in dynamic social environments is fundamental for survival, and requires continuous monitoring of both 'self' and 'others' to guide effective choices. Yet our understanding of ...

Female sexual behavior is a naturally rewarding activity that plays an important role in reproduction and species survival. For female rats, regulatin…

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