Stress and anxiety have intertwined behavioral and neural underpinnings. These
commonalities are critical for understanding each state, as well as their mutual interactions …

It is becoming clearer how neurobiological mechanisms generate 'liking'and
'wanting'components of food reward. Mesocorticolimbic mechanisms that enhance …

Comprehensive descriptions of animal behavior require precise three-dimensional (3D)
measurements of whole-body movements. Although two-dimensional approaches can track …

Background Psychological treatments occupy an important place in evidence-based mental
health treatments. Now is an exciting time to fuel treatment research: a pressing demand for …

Astrocytes tile the central nervous system, but their functions in neural microcircuits in vivo
and their roles in mammalian behavior remain incompletely defined. We used two-photon …

Astrocytes and neurons extensively interact in the brain. Identifying astrocyte and neuron
proteomes is essential for elucidating the protein networks that dictate their respective …

In mammalian animal models, high-resolution kinematic tracking is restricted to brief
sessions in constrained environments, limiting our ability to probe naturalistic behaviors and …

Studying naturalistic animal behavior remains a difficult objective. Recent machine learning
advances have enabled limb localization; however, extracting behaviors requires …

Here, we review the neural circuit bases of habits, compulsions, and addictions, behaviors
which are all characterized by relatively automatic action performance. We discuss relevant …

Cognitive and social capacities require postnatal experience, yet the pathways by which
experience guides development are unknown. Here we show that the normal development …
