Almost all physiological processes of animals are controlled by the brain, including
language, cognitive, memory, learning, emotion and so forth. Minor brain dysfunction usually …

Understanding how neuronal activity patterns in the brain correlate with complex behavior is
one of the primary goals of modern neuroscience. Chemical transmission is the major way of …

Abstract Dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) are densely expressed in the striatum and have
been linked to neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia,. High-affinity binding of …

In humans and rodents, the perception of control during stressful events has lasting
behavioral consequences. These consequences are apparent even in situations that are …

Animal behavior originates from neuronal activity distributed across brain-wide networks.
However, techniques available to assess large-scale neural dynamics in behaving animals …

Animals respond to environmental threats, eg looming visual stimuli, with innate defensive
behaviors such as escape and freezing. The key neural circuits that participate in the …

Sexual and aggressive behaviors are vital for species survival and individual reproductive
success. Although many limbic regions have been found relevant to these behaviors, how …

Fiber photometry (FP) is an adaptable method for recording in vivo neural activity in freely
behaving animals. It has become a popular tool in neuroscience due to its ease of use, low …

The importance of neuronal ensembles, termed engram cells, in storing and retrieving
memory is increasingly being appreciated, but less is known about how these engram cells …

Neurological and psychiatric conditions pose an increasing socioeconomic burden on our
aging society. Our ability to understand and treat these conditions relies on the development …
