Researchers found that neurons involved in parental care also activate during comforting behavior in mice. The circuit links caregiving with the brain’s reward system, suggesting prosocial actions may ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...
