Idiosyncratic Olfactory Behavior and its Neural Basis
(2020-09-30)
Individuality is a fundamental feature of animal behavior. Such behavioral idiosyncrasy exists across animals responding to an identical stimulus, and even within a single animal from moment-to-moment. Behavioral idiosyncrasy ...
To keep or not to keep: The molecular mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse refinement
(2020-11-23)
To establish efficient neural networks, neurons selectively strengthen active synapses and eliminate inactive ones through a neuronal activity-dependent developmental process known as synaptic refinement. Aberrant synaptic ...
Characterization and Mitigation of Bias in Parametric Mapping of Reward-Induced Dopamine Release using Simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(2020-09-25)
The dopamine system plays an essential role in learning associated with reward expectation and receipt. [11C]Raclopride positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to observe dopamine D2/D3 receptor binding and its ...
