This study investigates the role of 5-HT2A receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex in DOI-induced head-twitch responses in rodents, finding no contribution from mPFC 5-HT2ARs.

This study shows that nicotinamide treatment reduces gut dysbiosis in middle-aged rodents with a history of neonatal maternal separation.

This study shows that postnatal chemogenetic activation of forebrain excitatory neurons leads to anxiety-like behaviors and altered glial function and metabolism in adult mice.

This study inhibits forebrain excitatory neurons during postnatal or juvenile stages using DREADD and finds no effect on adult mood-related behaviors or sensorimotor gating.

This study shows that chronic chemogenetic activation of forebrain excitatory neurons during postnatal life leads to long-lasting mood-related behavioral and neurophysiological changes.
