The paper identifies circRNA hypomethylation in the human amygdala linked to FKBP5 in alcohol use disorder, with replication in an animal model.

The paper identifies circular RNAs (circRNAs) as a mechanism for storing discrete pieces of real-world sensory information in long-term episodic memories, with stronger memories associated with more persistent circRNAs in the hippocampus.

The paper identifies CRH-expressing inhibitory neurons in the prefrontal cortex that project to the lateral septum, showing their role in suppressing interactions with familiar mice and supporting social novelty preference.

This paper identifies a novel vCA1[->]pPVN circuit that modulates both learned and innate fear by regulating neuronal activity in the PAG.

The paper investigates the role of CPEB3's low complexity motif in its localization to P bodies and its function in local protein synthesis in neurons.
