Brain-immune interactions generate pathogen-specific sickness states Open
In nature, animals encounter diverse pathogens that trigger specific peripheral defense programs and elicit sickness behavior, a set of stereotyped physiological and behavioral changes thought to promote host fitness. Most studies to date …

Developmental Connectomics of the Mouse Cerebellum Open
To uncover the developmental processes that establish the precise patterns of synaptic connectivity in the CNS, we employed a connectomic approach in the mouse cerebellar cortex between birth and 2 weeks of age. There were dramatic quantit…

Molecular and neural control of social hierarchy by a forebrain-thalamocortical circuit Open
Many animal groups are organized hierarchically, which generates behavioral states that facilitate social interactions. Although generally stable, social status can change, underscoring the plasticity of underlying neural circuits. We exam…

Distinct representation of cue-outcome association by D1 and D2 neurons in the ventral striatum’s olfactory tubercle Open
Positive and negative associations acquired through olfactory experience are thought to be especially strong and long-lasting. The conserved direct olfactory sensory input to the ventral striatal olfactory tubercle (OT) and its convergence…

Urocortin-3 neurons in the mouse perifornical area promote infant-directed neglect and aggression Open
While recent studies have uncovered dedicated neural pathways mediating the positive control of parenting, the regulation of infant-directed aggression and how it relates to adult-adult aggression is poorly understood. Here we show that ur…

Molecular and Circuit Architecture of Social Hierarchy Open
SUMMARY Social hierarchy is a common organizational structure of animal groups, in which an individual’s social status generates an adaptive behavioral state that facilitates interactions with other group members. Although generally stable…

Reading out olfactory receptors: feedforward circuits detect odors in mixtures without demixing Open
The olfactory system, like other sensory systems, can detect specific stimuli of interest amidst complex, varying backgrounds. To gain insight into the neural mechanisms underlying this ability, we imaged responses of mouse olfactory bulb …
