This study examines how diet-induced obesity and chronic stress interact in a mouse model of menopause, showing increased cognitive impairments and metabolic changes in VCD-treated HFD-fed mice.

This study shows that perinatal exposure to OPFRs in mice causes lasting, sex-specific changes in the HPA axis and stress-related behaviors.

This study shows that perinatal exposure to OPFRs causes sex- and hormone-dependent changes in behavior, neurochemistry, and gene expression in adult mice.

This study examines how chronic social instability stress affects behavior and transcriptome in male and female mice, revealing sex-specific differences in stress response and gene expression in the anterodorsal BNST.

This study shows chronic stress causes sex-dependent transcriptome changes in the anterodorsal BNST, with males showing RNA processing gene bias and females showing synaptic transmission gene bias, along with sex-specific electrophysiological effects.

The paper shows that activating CRF+ neurons in the aBNST reduces effortful motivation behaviors in mice during reward tasks.

This study investigates how chronic stress affects CRH signaling and neuronal activity in the BNST, linking these changes to anxiety-related behaviors in mice.
