Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

Retrosplenial cortex is a region within the posterior neocortical system, heavily
interconnected with an array of brain networks, both cortical and subcortical, that is …

Exaggerated airway constriction triggered by repeated exposure to allergen, also called
hyperreactivity, is a hallmark of asthma. Whereas vagal sensory neurons are known to …

The hippocampus and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) both have important roles in cognitive
processes such as learning, memory and decision making. Nevertheless, research on the …

Associative learning is driven by prediction errors. Dopamine transients correlate with these
errors, which current interpretations limit to endowing cues with a scalar quantity reflecting …

Every day we make decisions critical for adaptation and survival. We repeat actions with
known consequences. But we also draw on loosely related events to infer and imagine the …

Clozapine N-oxide (CNO) is a ligand for a powerful chemogenetic system that can
selectively inhibit or activate neurons; the so-called Designer Receptors Exclusively …

Technological advances over the last decade are changing the face of behavioral
neuroscience research. Here we review recent work on the use of one such transformative …

The neural circuits underlying memory change over prolonged periods after learning, in a
process known as systems consolidation. Postlearning spontaneous reactivation of memory …

Chemogenetic technologies enable selective pharmacological control of specific cell
populations. An increasing number of approaches have been developed that modulate …
