Oxytocin in the Amygdala Sustains Prosocial Behavior via State-Dependent Amygdala–Prefrontal Modulation
Prosocial behaviors are crucial for maintaining primates' complex social relationships. As central regions involved in social decision-making, the basolateral amygdala (BLA) processes social salience...
Pre- and Post-synaptic Mechanisms of Neuronal Inhibition Assessed Through Biochemically Detailed Modeling of GABA<sub>B</sub> Receptor Signaling
GABAB receptors (GABABRs) are an important building block in neural activity. Despite their widely hypothesized role in many basic neuronal functions and mental disorder symptomatology, there is a lac...
Potentiation of Nigra–Striatal Dopaminergic Projection Underpins Core Autism-Like Behaviors in Valproate-Exposed Mice
Autism is characterized by two key diagnostic criteria including social deficits and repetitive behaviors. However, the underlying neural circuit dysfunction that accounts for these coexisting symptom...
Stimulus Contingency and Task Context Encoding within the Anterior Cingulate–Amygdala–Cerebellum Associative Learning Network
Cerebellum (CB) interactions with forebrain systems contribute to learning cognitive and motor tasks, but the nature of these interactions is unknown. Trace eyeblink conditioning (EBC) is an excellent...
Microstructural Brain Correlates of Inter-individual Differences in Respiratory Interoception
Interoception, the perception and integration of physiological signals, is a fundamental aspect of self-awareness and homeostasis. While previous work has explored interoceptive processing in the card...
A Rapid Anterior Auditory Processing Stream through the Insulo-parietal Auditory Field in the Rat
The insular cortex is involved in a wide range of auditory functions in the mammalian brain. We studied the organization and basic response properties of auditory neurons in the insular cortex and adj...
Uncovering the Role of the Human Hippocampus in Procedural Motor Learning: Insights from Implicit Sensorimotor Adaptation
Recent evidence suggests that the human hippocampus, traditionally associated with declarative memory, plays a role in motor sequence learning (MSL). However, the classic MSL paradigm depends initiall...
Early Cortical Sensitivity and Speeded Target Selection Underlie Incidentally Learned Prioritization of Visual Features
Adaptive behavior relies on prioritizing relevant sensory information, and decades of research have shown that current task goals and stimulus saliency influence this prioritization. Recent behavioral...
Optical Recordings of Unitary Synaptic Connections Reveal High and Random Local Connectivity between CA3 Pyramidal Cells
The hippocampal CA3 region is thought to play crucial roles in episodic memory functions because of the extensive recurrent connections between CA3 pyramidal cells (CA3PCs). However, different methods...
Asymmetries in Foveal Vision
Visual perception is characterized by known asymmetries in the visual field; human’s visual sensitivity is higher along the horizontal than the vertical meridian, and along the lower than the upper ve...
