This study identifies the LHb[->]VTA pathway as essential for aversive learning and active coping by showing its role in signaling aversive stimuli and facilitating behavioral adaptation.

The paper identifies sex-specific spatial reorganization of mPFC-VTA neuronal loops under stress using viral tracing and spatial clustering.

The paper identifies a disinhibitory pathway from the lateral hypothalamus to the dorsal raphe nucleus that promotes behavioral activation by reducing local inhibition of serotonergic neurons.

This study investigates the role of VGluT3 in DRN 5-HT neurons by manipulating its expression and assesses effects on synaptic structure and behavior.

This study identifies sex-specific transcriptional changes in mPFC-NAc pathway neurons under chronic stress, revealing Xlr4b as a stress susceptibility driver in males.

This study shows that the lateral habenula is necessary for forming separate contextual and cued memories in fear conditioning, but not for their recall when combined.

The paper shows that three lateral hypothalamic outputs coordinate to control motivated behavior in mice by modulating downstream neural activity.

This study investigates how chronic stress affects male and female mice's cortico-accumbal and cortico-tegmental pathways, revealing sex-specific functional, morphological, and transcriptional changes.
