Abstract: Animals use exteroceptive stimuli that have acquired, through learning, the ability to predict available resources allowing them to engage in adaptive behaviors. Meanwhile, peripheral signals related to internal state (e.g., hunger) provide information about current… read more here.

Abstract: The dysregulation of neuronal networks may contribute to the etiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the neural connections underlying the symptoms of MDD have yet to be elucidated. Here, we observed that glutamatergic neurons… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2019.05.018
Abstract: The paraventricular thalamus (PVT) is an interface for brain reward circuits, with input signals arising from structures, such as prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus, that are broadcast to downstream limbic targets. However, the precise synaptic connectivity, activity,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00891-z
Abstract: Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death worldwide. Restoration of blood flow rescues myocardium but also causes ischemia-reperfusion injury. Here, we show that in a mouse model of chronic neuropathic pain, ischemia-reperfusion injury following… read more here.
