This study investigates the role of PACAP signaling in the nucleus accumbens core and its effect on cocaine-primed reinstatement behavior in rats.

This study investigates the role of system xc- in advanced cognitive functions, finding it critical for impulse control and decision-making but not for conserved processes.

The paper develops an animal model of human brain stimulation therapy, showing it enhances cognitive control by improving the brain's ability to process conflicting evidence.

This study shows that disrupting Sxc-mediated glutamate release from astrocytes in rats increases negative-outcome behaviors without affecting basic brain functions.

This study failed to replicate compulsive behavior in rats following optogenetic stimulation of the OFC-VMS circuit, unlike previous findings in mice.
