The paper investigates sex differences in CGRP signaling within the BNST and finds that while peptide release is sex-independent, neuromodulation of excitability shows sex-dependent features.

The paper identifies CGRP receptors on OPCs and demonstrates close spatial contacts between CGRP and OPCs, suggesting direct signaling.

The paper investigates sex differences in glutamatergic signaling potentiation in CeLC neurons following CGRP release, finding greater potentiation in females than males.

This study tracks parabrachial nucleus neuronal activity in awake mice during pain and shows it correlates with arousal and can be conditioned to respond to innocuous stimuli.
