With our mobile Neuropixel rig we can record anywhere in the building. Even the hallway!

This is amazing

Facial expressions in mice reveal latent cognitive variables and their neural correlates - Nature Neuroscience The face reveals more than just emotion. Cazettes, Reato and colleagues show that subtle facial movements reveal hidden cognitive states, reflecting the brain’s ongoing computations and offering a noninvasive window into unexpressed thoughts and decisions.

The butterfly-like/four circular labeling in the mediodorsal (top two) and submedius (bottom two) thalamic nuclei when retrograde tracers are infused in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of rats

Bonus: midline labeling are from retrograde tracers placed in the nucleus accumbens (nAc)

Examples of epifluorescence vs. confocal images of the BLA and axons leaving the BLA - note the lack of labeling in central amygdala (CeA)

Basolateral amygdala (BLA) axons labeled with tdTomato

Some passing through the anterior commissure

Basolateral amygdala (BM) axons labeled with EYFP

Retrograde cre injection in ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)
