- Description
The ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) is central for driving aggression. This study investigated changes in the aggression circuit over repeated winning in male mice. First aggressive behaviors were characterized in short-term and long-term winners and then synaptic and cellular changes in the VMHvl were investigated over repeated winning. Repeated resident-intruder (RI) tests...

- Description
Many animals alter their locomotor statistics to remain closer to a potential food source after detecting food odor. This study measured and analyzed trajectories evoked by attractive odor in walking Drosophila and develop a biologically plausible computational model of trajectory generation and modulation by sensory input. Flies were placed in shallow 4 cm by 14 cm arenas that constrained them to...
