New paper out! Led by @michaelecoulter.bsky.social, we learned that rats can learn to use content-specific neurofeedback to generate specific remote hippocampal representations. surprisingly, this occurs *outside* of SWRs!
Animal models of memory retrieval trigger retrieval with cues and measure retrieval using behavior. We developed a neurofeedback paradigm for direct study of neural activity associated with memory retrieval by separating this from activity related to cues or behavior. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Antipsychotics is often used to suppress hyper-aggression. Does it really suppress aggression or just cause sedation? Antipsychotics targets dopamine receptors. Our new study revealed that dopamine modulates aggression based on animals' fighting experience.

Experience-dependent dopamine modulation of male aggression - Nature
Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area have a role in modulating aggression in adult male mice, and this effect of dopamine depends strongly on fighting experience.
