The paper investigates sex differences in neuronal activation of the aggression-regulating neural circuitry in Syrian hamsters following aggressive encounters.

This paper develops a CRISPR/Cas9-based method to reduce dopamine receptor levels in multiple rodent species, enabling comparative studies of neural mechanisms.

This study investigates how distinct subcircuits within the mesolimbic dopamine system encode the salience and valence of social stimuli through differential dopamine release patterns.

This study shows that estrogen withdrawal increases anxiety-like behaviors by altering oxytocin signaling in the paraventricular hypothalamus and dorsal raphe nucleus in Syrian hamsters.

This study measures binding affinities of oxytocin, vasopressin, and Manning compound at oxytocin and V1a receptors in Syrian hamster brains, revealing species-specific receptor promiscuity.
