The paper identifies female-specific transcriptional changes in nucleus accumbens neuron subtypes under chronic social stress and highlights PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling as a conserved pathway.

This study shows that prenatal THC exposure and maternal stress impair maternal behavior and alter offspring neurodevelopment with sex- and region-specific molecular changes.

This study conducts a meta-analysis of mitochondrial DNA copy number in blood samples from individuals with mood disorders, finding increased mtDNAcn in MDD and BD Type II, and decreased in BD Type I.

This study examines transcriptomic changes in reward and sensory brain regions of juvenile mice exposed to perinatal fentanyl, revealing sex-specific gene expression patterns and enriched biological processes.

The paper shows that decreased DMS direct pathway neuronal activity, dependent on dopamine, is required for motor coordination learning, while DLS activity remains stable and correlates with skill maintenance.
