The paper identifies direct synaptic interactions between NPY and CRF in the CeA of mice, suggesting a role for NPY in modulating CRF-containing neurons involved in stress and psychiatric disorders.

This study examines the effect of CA inhibitor 1 on estrous cyclicity in mice, finding transient delays but overall normal cycle lengths and no impact on mPOA activity.

This study investigates depression-like behavior in adolescent rats after mild traumatic brain injury, finding sex-specific effects and changes in limbic neuropeptide expression.

This study shows that HIV infection increases cocaine-primed reinstatement in mice and that activating the mPFC-NAc circuit can reverse this effect.

This study shows HIV-infected mice show impaired extinction of cocaine-seeking behavior and associated immune dysregulation in both peripheral and central systems.
