Sex-specific prefrontal-hypothalamic control of behavior and stress responding

This study investigates sex-specific roles of the vmPFC-PH circuit in regulating stress responses and behavior in rats using optogenetics and genetic approaches.

Sexually divergent cortical control of affective-autonomic integration

This study investigates sex differences in how the infralimbic prefrontal cortex regulates stress responses and cardiovascular outcomes in rodents.

Prefrontal Cortex Regulates Chronic Stress-Induced Cardiovascular Susceptibility

This study shows that reducing glutamate release from infralimbic cortex neurons increases cardiovascular reactivity and vascular dysfunction under chronic stress.
