This paper develops an oral fentanyl self-administration model in mice to study escalation and relapse phenotypes, finding genetic background influences on these behaviors.

Stars2Cells tracks neurons across imaging sessions using a novel descriptor-based method, achieving high accuracy in identifying single neurons over time.

This study shows that repeated fentanyl withdrawal worsens behavioral withdrawal and induces a proinflammatory state in striatal microglia in mice.

The paper introduces MPS, a no-code pipeline for processing long-duration miniscope calcium imaging data, achieving faster processing speeds than traditional methods.

This paper develops an oral fentanyl self-administration model in rats to study emotional shifts during drug use, finding rapid transitions from positive to negative reinforcement within sessions.

The paper examines how lateral preoptic area neurons encode different stages of cocaine self-administration behavior.

The paper examines how stress affects gene expression in different pathways of the lateral habenula in rats, finding divergent translatome changes, particularly in RMTg-projecting neurons.

This study investigates how chronic intermittent ethanol affects microglial translatome in striatum, identifying CHOP and UPR as key factors in ethanol withdrawal symptoms.

The paper uses RiboTag-Seq to show that morphine withdrawal induces a cAMP-responsive gene network in striatal microglia, affecting their morphology and interactions with neurons.
