This study examines how chronic ethanol exposure affects physiological properties of mPFC neurons projecting to the RMTg, revealing subregion-specific adaptations in IL but not PL neurons.

This study examines whether chronic ethanol exposure leads to tolerance of ethanol's aversive effects in rats, finding instead that it reduces the development of conditioned taste aversion over time.

This study develops a rodent model to investigate individual differences in ethanol's aversive effects, revealing two distinct phenotypes in both sexes.

This study shows that moderate prenatal alcohol exposure on gestational day 12 causes sex-specific social impairments in adulthood and alters neural circuits involved in social behavior.

This study shows that moderate adolescent ethanol exposure causes long-term sex-dependent changes in BLA physiology and KOR function in adult rats.

This study shows that adolescent forced swim stress increases social anxiety-like behaviors and alters KOR function in the BLA of male rats, but not adults or females.
