Distinct CCK-positive SFO neurons are involved in persistent or transient suppression of water intake
The control of water-intake behavior is critical for life because an excessive water intake induces pathological conditions, such as hyponatremia or water intoxication.…

The Anterior Cingulate Cortex Predicts Future States to Mediate Model-Based Action Selection
Behavioral control is not unitary. It comprises parallel systems, model based and model free, that respectively generate flexible and habitual behaviors. Model-based…

Spatial organization of functional clusters representing reward and movement information in the striatal direct and indirect pathways
To obtain insights into striatal neural processes underlying reward-based learning and movement control, we examined spatial organizations of striatal neurons related to…

A Role for Astroglial Calcium in Mammalian Sleep and Sleep Regulation
Mammalian sleep expression and regulation have historically been thought to reflect the activity of neurons. Changes in other brain cells (glia) across the sleep-wake…
