Abstract: Abstract Introduction Several studies have supported the use of enriched environments to prevent the manifestation of ASD‐like phenotypes in laboratory rodents. While the translational value of such experiments is unknown, the findings have been relatively… read more here.

Abstract: Rewards direct behavioral adaptation through midbrain dopamine signaling, though the timing of those effects is often ambiguous. Lee and colleagues find that different subpopulations of dopamine neurons obey similar constraints, indirectly regulating reward-related behavior through… read more here.

Abstract: Animals use olfactory receptors to navigate mates, food, and danger. However, for complex olfactory systems, it is unknown what proportion of primary olfactory sensory neurons can individually drive avoidance or attraction. Similarly, the rules that… read more here.
