This study investigates sex differences in dopamine receptor effects on risk-based decision making in rats, finding that D2R agonist quinpirole reduces risk taking in females but not males.

The paper investigates the neural circuits and cell-specific contributions to risk-taking behavior in male and female rats during decision-making tasks involving punishment.

The paper examines age-related changes in Arc expression in prelimbic cortical neurons during behavior, finding reduced expression linked to multitasking deficits, with no projection neuron specificity in the prelimbic cortex unlike the perirhinal cortex.

This study examines sex and age differences in cognitive and physical performance in rats, finding age-related declines in both sexes but no significant sex differences in cognitive tasks.

This study examines how aging and a ketogenic diet affect synapse-related gene expression in different hippocampal subregions, showing subregion-specific changes.

This study shows that a ketogenic diet reduces adiposity and reverses age-related declines in hippocampal transporter expression in aged rats.
