Cortical circuits can flexibly change with experience and learning, but the effects on specific
cell types, including distinct inhibitory types, are not well understood. Here we investigated …

Multiple parallel neural pathways link sound-related signals to behavioral responses. For
instance, the striatum, a brain structure involved in action selection and reward-related learning…

The neuronal pathways that link sounds to rewarded actions remain elusive. For instance, it
is unclear whether neurons in the posterior tail of the dorsal striatum (which receive direct …

To thrive in a changing environment, organisms evolved strategies for rapidly modifying their
behavioral responses to sensory stimuli. In this review, we investigate the role of sensory …

The detection of novel stimuli is critical to learn and survive in a dynamic environment. Though
novel stimuli powerfully affect brain activity, their impact on specific cell types and circuits …

In complex environments, animals can adopt diverse strategies to find rewards. How distinct
strategies differentially engage brain circuits is not well understood. Here, we investigate …

Situation entities (SEs) are the events, states, generic statements, and embedded facts and
propositions introduced to a discourse by clauses of text. We report on the first datadriven …

strategies differentially engage brain circuits is not well understood. Here we investigate this …

Computational grammar development often tends towards the development of lexemic
grammars, ie grammars which posit little or no word-internal grammatical structure, or assume …
