Selective dysregulation of serotonin dynamics in the anterior cingulate cortex and central amygdala following binge alcohol consumption

This study identifies region-specific serotonin signaling changes in the ACC and CeA after binge alcohol consumption, showing differential effects on reward and aversion behaviors.

ABEL: an active-learning behavior estimation and labeling platform

A no-code clip-level active-learning platform combining pose, video and region-of-interest features trains rodent behavior classifiers (mean precision-recall AUC 0.90, 45 behaviors, eight assays) largely agreeing with expert human scoring.

Sex Differences in BNST Signaling and BNST CRF in Fear Processing: Implications for Unpredictable Threat in Sustained Fear

This study examines sex differences in BNST CRF signaling during phasic and sustained fear in mice, finding sex-specific effects on fear responses and suggesting implications for anxiety treatment.

Septo-hypothalamic regulation of binge-like alcohol consumption by the nociceptin system.

This study identifies a population of nociceptin-expressing neurons in the lateral septum that modulate binge-like alcohol consumption and shows sex-dependent effects of NOP receptor deletion.

Acute and chronic alcohol modulation of extended amygdala calcium dynamics

This study examines how acute and chronic alcohol exposure affects calcium dynamics in the extended amygdala, showing changes in neuronal activity and coherence in a sex-specific manner.

Alcohol dependence modifies brain networks activated during abstinence and reaccess: a c-fos-based analysis in mice

The paper uses c-fos mapping and network analysis to show that alcohol dependence alters brain network activity during abstinence and reaccess in mice, with increased network modularity in high-drinking mice after reaccess.
