Study Identifies Prefrontal Cortex Neurons That Encode Contingency Degradation via Connections to Ventral Tegmental Area
Researchers identified a subset of medial prefrontal cortex neurons that specifically encode contingency degradation in a causal manner. The study combined a meta-reward prediction error model with longitudinal two-photon calcium imaging and single-cell holographic optogenetics t…

Researchers Identify Neural Circuit Linking Spinal Cord and Brain in Chronic Pain
A study published in Nature details a neural circuit connecting the spinal cord, brain, and back to the spinal cord that contributes to chronic pain. The research used mouse models to map this pathway and test its role in pain persistence. Findings suggest potential targets for p…
