The nucleus accumbens shell regulates hedonic feeding via a rostral hotspot

Within the nucleus accumbens shell, a spatially defined rostral subregion selectively modulates hedonic feeding, revealing functional heterogeneity in reward circuitry underlying food consumption.

Sexual dimorphism in sensorimotor transformation of optic flow

Descending neurons that encode widefield motion vision in the fly have sexually dimorphic velocity tuning, while the wing beat amplitude, which these neurons presumably control, is monomorphic.
