Exercise Leverages a Post-Stress Therapeutic Window in Hypothalamic CRH Neurons to Enable Recovery from Threat Sensitization

The paper shows exercise alleviates acute stress through a time-sensitive mechanism involving CRH neurons and interactions between glucocorticoids and BDNF.

Psilocybin induces sex- and context-specific recruitment of the stress axis

This study shows psilocybin activates hypothalamic stress-related neurons, with stronger effects in female mice and context-dependent changes in threat assessment.

Hypothalamic vasopressin sex differentiation is established during embryonic neurogenesis

The paper shows that hypothalamic vasopressin neurons are sexually dimorphic during embryonic neurogenesis, with exposure to bisphenol A causing masculinization in female brains.

Particle-Swarm Based Modelling Reveals Two Distinct Classes of CRHPVN Neurons

The paper models CRHPVN neurons using a modified AdEx model with PSO, revealing two subtypes with distinct firing dynamics and network-level roles.

Sex-specific vasopressin signaling buffers stress-dependent synaptic changes in female mice

The paper shows that vasopressin signaling in the PVN buffers stress-induced synaptic changes in female mice but not males.
