Combining rabies-virus tracing, optical clearing (CLARITY), and whole-brain light-sheet imaging, we mapped the monosynaptic inputs to midbrain dopamine neurons projecting to different targets (different parts of the striatum, cortex, amygdala, etc.) in mice. We found that most populations of dopamine neurons receive a similar set of inputs rather than forming strong reciprocal connections with ...

The connection between algebra and combinatorics has had many implications in both fields. In combinatorics the highlights include Stanley’s proofs of the upper bound conjecture [21] and the g-theorem [22] using the theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings and toric varieti...
