Improved green and red GRAB sensors for monitoring dopaminergic activity in vivo
Dopamine (DA) plays multiple roles in a wide range of physiological and pathological processes via a large network of dopaminergic projections. To dissect the spatiotemporal dynamics of DA release in both dens...

A gradual temporal shift of dopamine responses mirrors the progression of temporal difference error in machine learning
A large body of evidence has indicated that the phasic responses of midbrain dopamine neurons show a remarkable similarity to a type of teaching signal (temporal difference (TD) error) used in machine learning...

Dopamine neurons projecting to the posterior striatum reinforce avoidance of threatening stimuli
Midbrain dopamine neurons are well known for their role in reward-based reinforcement learning. We found that the activity of dopamine axons in the posterior tail of the striatum (TS) scaled with the novelty a...

Galanin neurons in the medial preoptic area govern parental behaviour
Mice display robust, stereotyped behaviours towards pups: virgin males typically attack pups, whereas virgin females and sexually experienced males and females display parental care. Here we show that virgin m...

An excitatory paraventricular nucleus to AgRP neuron circuit that drives hunger
The AgRP-expressing neurons in the arcuate nucleus drive food-seeking behaviours during caloric restriction; a mouse study of monosynaptic retrograde rabies spread and optogenetic circuit map** reveals that ...
