Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 18 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02224-0Raam, Li, Gu and colleagues identify neural mechanisms underlying group huddling in mice during cold exposure. They find that the prefrontal cortex encodes decisions to huddle and that...

Reduced mediodorsal thalamus activity underlies aberrant belief dynamics in a genetic mouse model of schizophrenia

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Wednesday, March 18, 2026 | Neuroscience

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 18 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02237-9Zhou, Ho and colleagues show that, in mice, a schizophrenia-associated mutation impairs belief updating by weakening mediodorsal (MD) thalamus activity. Boosting this activity restored...
