A dopaminergic reward prediction error signal shapes maternal behavior in mice

A dopaminergic reward prediction error signal shapes maternal behavior in mice

The mechanism by which social contact is perceived as rewarding and shapes future interactions is poorly understood. Xie et al. find that midbrain dopamine neurons signal a social reward prediction...

Is the United States losing its competitive advantage in recruiting the world's best talents in STEM? Why are more international students opting to study and work elsewhere in recent years? How can the U.S. revert this trend & maintain its global leadership in STEM innovation?
