Genetically encoded calcium indicators for visualizing dynamic cellular activity have greatly
expanded our understanding of the brain. However, owing to the light-scattering properties …

In vivo calcium imaging through microendoscopic lenses enables imaging of previously
inaccessible neuronal populations deep within the brains of freely moving animals …

Optimally orchestrating complex behavioral states, such as the pursuit and consumption of
food, is critical for an organism's survival. The lateral hypothalamus (LH) is a …

Social bonds are important for human health and well-being, and a crucial component of
these bonds is the ability to maintain a bond once it has been formed. Importantly, although …
