This study investigates the role of dopamine D2 autoreceptors in regulating VTA dopamine neuron responses to aversive stimuli and finds they act as a regulatory brake with sex-biased effects on threat processing.

The paper uses PSTR to predict adaptation and spontaneous firing rates in human auditory nerve fibers, showing agreement with single-unit recordings in animals.

This study shows that dopamine D2 receptors in the extended amygdala are crucial for switching between passive and active defensive behaviors in response to threats.

The paper studies a VGLUT3 variant causing DFNA25 deafness, showing fused stereocilia bundles and elongated synaptic ribbons in a mouse model.
