Prenatal circadian rhythm disruption induces sex-specific substance use and mood-related phenotypes in mice

Nilanjana Saferin, Taylor Ashley Stowe, Chelsea A. Vadnie, Kaitlyn A. Petersen, Madeline R. Scott, Emily Chen, Lucia Bustos-Robles, Riley Griffin, Colleen A. McClung, Lauren M. DePoy

This study shows that prenatal circadian rhythm disruption in mice leads to sex-specific behavioral changes in adulthood, with females showing mood-related issues and males showing substance use-like behaviors.

Comparing dopamine release, uptake, and D2 autoreceptor function across the ventromedial to dorsolateral striatum in adolescent and adult rats

Elizabeth G. Pitts, Taylor Ashley Stowe, Brooke A. Christensen, Mark J. Ferris

This study compares dopamine release, uptake, and D2 autoreceptor function across different striatal regions in adolescent and adult rats, finding decreased dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens core in adolescents.
