This study investigates how oral contraceptive exposure affects glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor signaling in specific brain regions of mice, revealing region-specific disruptions in stress-related pathways.

This study develops a mouse model of oral contraceptive exposure to investigate its effects on stress response, behavior, and mood, finding that EE+LVNG suppresses acute stress response and causes anhedonia-like effects.

This study investigates how neuro-immune signaling and choline transporter modifications contribute to addiction vulnerability in sign-tracking rats.

This study examines sex differences in hippocampal cytokine networks in mice after LPS challenge, finding sex-specific cytokine activation patterns and network dynamics.

This study examines sex differences in the neuroimmune response to poly I:C in mice, finding males exhibit stronger cytokine and IFN responses than females.

This study shows that KMT2A and KDM5C, which have opposing enzymatic activities, work together to regulate neuronal structure, behavior, and H3K4 methylation, with their combined loss reversing some phenotypes.

This study identifies enduring and sex-specific changes in hippocampal gene expression following a subchronic immune challenge, with males showing persistent dysregulation while females exhibit differential responses to subsequent challenges.

This study shows that mice with reduced cholinergic capacity experience severe, lasting attention impairments after repeated mild concussions, suggesting similar risks in humans with vulnerable cholinergic systems.

This study shows that subchronic immune challenges cause sex-specific memory impairments in males and females that persist for months after the challenge.
