GrimACE is an automated tool for assessing pain and well-being in mice using computer vision, showing high correlation with expert evaluations and detecting pain and treatment effects.

This study investigates how repeated stress affects molecular responses in the mouse hippocampus, finding widespread habituation without new adaptive responses or baseline gene expression changes.

This paper introduces behavioral flow analysis to detect latent phenotypes in rodent behavior, improving statistical power and transferability across experiments.

The paper shows that noradrenaline release from the locus coeruleus regulates gene expression in the hippocampus via beta-adrenergic receptors, with astrocyte-specific genes as key targets.

This study shows that chronic adolescent stress increases exploratory behavior and hippocampal gene expression but does not affect acute stress responses in adult mice.

This study characterizes the molecular changes in the mouse hippocampus during the acute stress response using multiomic profiling and identifies rapid resolution of molecular events within 4 hours.
