  This important study reports that EEG recordings of the earliest stage of information processing in human visual cortex can be used to predict subsequent choice responses. The findings provide novel, convincing evidence for integrative processing in low-level sensory cortices at the level of scalp-recorded potentials, with the exact nature of the neural signals at the single cell level to be determined. The paper is likely to be of interest to neuroscientists interested in the contribution of early sensory signals to decision making.

  This manuscript provides valuable novel insights into the role of interpersonal guilt in social decision-making by showing that responsibility for a partner's bad lottery outcomes influences happiness. Through the integration of neuroimaging and computational modelling methods, and by combining findings from two studies, the authors provide solid support for their claims. The findings will be of interest to researchers in the field of social neuroscience and decision making.

  This work presents a brain-wide atlas of vasopressin (Avp) and vasopressin receptor 1A (Avpr1a) mRNA expression in mouse brains using high-resolution RNAscope in situ hybridization. The single-transcript approach provides precise localization and identifies additional brain regions expressing Avpr1a, creating a valuable resource for the field. The revised manuscript is clearer and more impactful, with improved figures, stronger data organization, and enhanced scholarship through added context and citations. Overall, the evidence is compelling, and the atlas should be broadly of use to researchers studying vasopressin signaling and related neural circuits.
