1. Efficient Coding

This story is about a bioRxiv preprint asking why Weber's law appears so reliably in perception. Weber's law says that the smallest noticeable change in a stimulus tends to scale with the size of that stimulus.

2. Dopamine Dips

This story is about a bioRxiv mouse study on dopamine dips and punishment-resistant reward seeking. The researchers studied a behavior associated with addiction, where an animal keeps pursuing a reward even when the action carries a cost.

3. Semaglutide Hunger Circuit

This story is about a PNAS study on how semaglutide recruits AgRP hunger neurons in female mice. AgRP neurons are usually associated with hunger, low energy availability, and energy conservation, so researchers have often expected GLP-1 drugs to suppress or bypass them.
