In chronic experiments on male relatively unrestrained rats, simultaneous studies have been made on the behaviour during wake-sleep cycle and on changes in the temperature of the neocortex, posterior hypothalamus and neck muscles. Interaction of two mechanisms at the hypothalamic level is discussed, namely the development of various stages of the wake-sleep cycle and thermoregulation. Special attention is paid to the phase of rapid sleep, when the transition of an animal from homoiothermic to heterothermic conditions presumably takes place.

The posterior cerebellum and anterior basal ganglia are critical subcortical structures for learning and identifying dynamic action sequences, in concert with the neocortex. The present analysis investigates the role of action sequences during social mentalizing, termed here dynamic or sequential social mentalizing. Although the role of the cerebellum in dynamic social mentalizing was extensively investigated during the last decade, the basal ganglia were long ignored.

Introduction: Raoellidae are small artiodactyls retrieved from the middle Eocene of Asia (ca. -47 Ma) and closely related to stem Cetacea. Morphological observations of their endocranial structures allow for outlining some of the early steps of the evolutionary history of the cetacean brain.

Article Synopsis
- * Thalamo-cortical spindles and Up states are crucial in coordinating co-ripples in the cortex and hippocampus during non-REM sleep.
- * The study suggests that instead of direct thalamic ripples, spindles and Up states are key in integrating information for memory consolidation during sleep.
Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia affects brain structure and function, with research focusing on both anatomical and molecular changes, particularly in lipids and metabolites.
- A spatial analysis of lipid composition in specific neocortical regions (BA9 and BA22p) aims to understand how schizophrenia alters lipid profiles in gray and white matter.
- Findings indicate that lipid changes are distributed unevenly, with more pronounced differences in the subcortical white matter of BA22p compared to BA9, revealing varying impacts on lipid classes between regions and tissue types.
Social and emotional learning in the cerebellum.

The posterior cerebellum has a critical role in human social and emotional learning. Three systems and related neural networks support this cerebellar function: a biological action observation system as part of an extended sensorimotor integration network, a mentalizing system for understanding a person's mental and emotional state subserved by a mentalizing network, and a limbic network supporting core emotional (dis)pleasure and arousal processes. In this Review, I describe how these systems and networks support social and emotional learning via functional reciprocal connections initiating and terminating in the posterior cerebellum and cerebral neocortex.
