DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2018.09.042
Abstract: Contexts play critical roles in many important aspects of an animal's routine functions, such as the interpretation of incoming signals and retrieved memories. The roles played by prefrontal cortex (PFC) neurons in the coding of… read more here.

Development of behavioral patterns in young C57BL/6J mice: a home cage-based study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-06395-1
Abstract: Evidence exists that behavioral patterns only stabilize once mice reach adulthood. Detailed information about the course of behavioral patterns is of particular relevance for neuroscientific research and for the assessment of cumulative severity in genetically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/chemse/bjy083
Abstract: Perceptual learning is an enhancement in discriminability of similar stimuli following experience with those stimuli. Here, we examined the efficacy of adding additional active training following a standard training session, compared with additional stimulus exposure… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsad144
Abstract: Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) is a neurological disorder caused by disruption of hypocretin (HCRT; or orexin) neurotransmission leading to fragmented sleep/wake states, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and cataplexy (abrupt muscle atonia during wakefulness). Electroencephalography and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gbb.12516
Abstract: Adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) are essential for neuronal synapse development across evolution and control various aspects of synapse formation and maturation. Neph2, also known as Kirrel3, is an IgSF adhesion molecule implicated… read more here.

DOI: 10.12688/wellcomeopenres.23850.2
Abstract: Background Accurately measuring activity and feeding is important in laboratory animal research, whether for welfare-monitoring or experimental recording. Quantification commonly involves manual pellet-weighing; however, this can physically disturb animals and cannot continuously assess both the… read more here.
