Thanks for the shoutout @SfNJournals ! Among other things, we show that you can delete **every** serotonin neuron in the dorsal raphe and rats can still show excellent fear discrimination.

Maybe it’s just my feed. But the amount of oxygen eLife has sucked up suggests much higher prestige than I expected.

Rat periaqueductal gray neurons are activated (Fos) by optogenetic stimulation of transplanted human cortical organoids. Did not see this coming. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Folks doing awake-behaving recording. This is what you want your single units to look like. Consistent waveform with high signal to noise ratio. Combine this with a controlled behavioral paradigm and you are most of the way to a solid study.

Pursuing reward despite danger How the same behavior can be interpreted as evidence for pathological compulsion in some research fields (e.g., addiction) and as evidence for the most impressive cognitive control skill in other fields (e.g., comparative psychology).
