Learning from punishment allows animals to suppress actions that produce adverse consequences while maintaining other rewarded behaviors. However, the brain mechanisms of this learning are poorly unde...

Using a novel intersectional genetic strategy for sparse neuronal labeling, Grossouw, Heijmink, et al. reconstruct individual midbrain dopamine neurons throughout development, adulthood, and degenerat...

In this Analysis, Rupprecht et al. investigate the behavior of GCaMP8 variants in spike inference using several different algorithms. They highlight the role of the indicators’ linearity in the infere...
