Nicotine-mediated recruitment of GABAergic neurons to a dopaminergic phenotype attenuates motor deficits in alpha-synuclein Parkinson's model.

I‐Chi Lai, Alessandra Porcu, Benedetto Romoli…·Davide Dulcis

This study shows nicotine promotes GABAergic neurons to adopt a dopaminergic phenotype, reducing alpha-synuclein-induced motor deficits in Parkinson's models.

Serotonergic plasticity in the dorsal raphe nucleus characterizes susceptibility and resilience to anhedonia

Nandkishore Prakash, Christiana J. Stark, Maria N. Keisler…·Davide Dulcis

The paper identifies serotonergic plasticity in the dorsal raphe nucleus as a marker of susceptibility to stress-induced anhedonia and shows that amygdalar activation can induce resilience.
