The ability to make choices and carry out appropriate actions is critical for individual survival
and well-being. Choice behaviors, from hard-wired to experience-dependent, have been …

Neurodevelopmental disorders are marked by inappropriate synaptic connectivity early in
life, but how disruption of experience-dependent plasticity contributes to cognitive and …

Olfactory representations are shaped by brain state and respiration. The interaction and circuit
substrates of these influences are unclear. Granule cells (GCs) in the main olfactory bulb (…

Axon regeneration after spinal cord injury in mammals is inadequate to restore function,
illustrating the need to design better strategies for improving outcomes. Increasing the levels of …

The neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene Mecp2.
Misexpression of the protein MECP2 is thought to contribute to neuropathology by causing …

Oxytocin receptors (OTRs) in the midbrain dorsal raphe (DR; the source of most forebrain
serotonin) have recently been identified as a potential pharmacological target for treating …

Cortical neuronal circuits along the sensorimotor pathways are shaped by experience during
critical periods of heightened plasticity in early postnatal development. After closure of …

Spinal cord injury induces structural plasticity throughout the mammalian nervous system,
including distant locations in the brain. Several types of injury-induced plasticity have been …

Rodent dams seek and gather scattered pups back to the nest (pup retrieval), an essential
aspect of maternal care. Systematic analysis of the dynamic sequences of goal‐related …

The neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene Mecp2.
Misexpression of the protein MECP2 is thought to contribute to neuropathology by causing …
