This study shows that G-CSF enhances cocaine reward by promoting glutamatergic synaptic remodeling in the nucleus accumbens through calcium-permeable AMPA receptors.

This study shows that low estrogen in female rats increases sensitivity to NMDAR antagonists and reduces antipsychotic effectiveness, with GluN2A expression playing a key role.

The paper investigates the role of the BLA-vHC circuit in alcohol drinking behaviors using chemogenetics and finds that inhibiting this pathway reduces appetitive drinking but not consummatory behaviors.

This study shows that FMRP is required for the rapid antidepressant effects of Ro-25-6981 and that its regulation by mTORC1 and GABABR activity influences synapse formation and treatment outcomes in FXS models.

The paper identifies Bay-K8644 as a potential therapy for TS-related seizures by boosting L-type Ca2+ channel activity and reducing excess GluA receptors in a mouse model.

The paper identifies a novel DJ-1/2δ2/L-VDCC pathway disrupted in tuberous sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, linking mTORC1 signaling to L-type calcium channel hypoactivity.

This study shows chronic intermittent ethanol exposure increases synaptic excitability specifically in the ventral hippocampus of rats, linked to changes in GluA2 and SK2 protein expression.
