This study investigates how two glutamatergic pathways to the nucleus accumbens influence vulnerability to cannabinoid addiction in mice, finding that both increase persistence of drug seeking but affect other behaviors differently.

This study examines how maternal immune activation and peripubertal stress affect glutamatergic, endocannabinoid, and neuromodulatory signaling in the adult rat dorsal hippocampus, revealing disruptions in excitatory-inhibitory balance.

The paper identifies sex-specific miRNA signatures in the medial prefrontal cortex associated with cannabinoid addiction-like behavior in female mice.

The paper examines calcium dynamics in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice to identify neural differences between food-addicted and non-addicted behaviors.

The paper investigates the combined effects of maternal immune activation and adolescent THC exposure in rats, revealing brain and transcriptomic changes without overt behavioral disruptions.

The paper shows that thalamostriatal degeneration impairs goal-directed behavior in rats, but this deficit can be reversed by enhancing striatal cholinergic activity with selegiline.

This study investigates how maternal immune activation and peripubertal stress interact to influence cocaine addiction-like behavior and striatal transcriptome in rats.

This study examines the effects of adolescent THC exposure on behavior, brain structure, and gene expression in rats, finding altered psychological and brain development but no clear support for the Gateway Hypothesis.

This study uses ex vivo 1H-MRS to identify metabolic changes in a two-hit schizophrenia model, showing LPS and stress effects on brain metabolites.
