This study shows that blocking CRFR1 during peripuberty alters adult behavior and amygdala gene expression in rats, with sex-specific effects.

This study identifies sex-specific roles of NPAS2 in fentanyl reward and addiction mechanisms in mice and humans.

This study investigates how metyrapone, an 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, affects offspring behavior and corticosterone levels in a rodent model of maternal immune activation, revealing sex-specific outcomes.

The paper identifies synaptic protein alterations and circadian rhythm disruptions in brain regions associated with opioid use disorder using proteomics.

This study investigates the sex-specific role of NPAS2 in fentanyl-induced analgesia, tolerance, hyperalgesia, and dependence using NPAS2-deficient mice.

This study examines how fentanyl affects sleep architecture and how the circadian factor NPAS2 influences these changes during withdrawal in male mice.

The paper investigates molecular rhythm alterations in the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens of individuals with opioid use disorder, finding distinct rhythmic transcript patterns and associations with sleep and neurotransmitter systems.

This study identifies transcriptional changes in opioid use disorder brains, linking neuroinflammation and synaptic remodeling through RNA-seq and integrative analyses.
