5-HT2C receptors in the nucleus accumbens constrain the rewarding effects of MDMA

This paper investigates how 5-HT2C receptors in the nucleus accumbens modulate MDMA's rewarding effects and prosocial behaviors through interactions with serotonin and dopamine release.

Anesthesia unconsciousness recruits dynamic parabrachial activity within a distributed brain-wide ensemble

This study identifies a brain-wide neural ensemble involved in anesthesia-induced unconsciousness, with the lateral parabrachial nucleus as a central hub.

Cross-species brain-wide mapping reveals a conserved and coordinated network engaged by NAc DBS

This study maps the brain-wide network activated by NAc DBS in mice and finds similar connectivity patterns in humans, suggesting conserved mechanisms across species.

Opioid receptor expressing neurons of the central amygdala gate behavioral effects of ketamine in mice

The paper identifies opioid receptor-expressing neurons in the central amygdala as mediators of ketamine's behavioral effects in mice, showing they are not direct targets of ketamine.

UNRAVELing the synergistic effects of psilocybin and environment on brain-wide immediate early gene expression in mice

This study examines how psilocybin and environment affect brain-wide immediate early gene expression in mice using c-Fos immunofluorescence and light sheet microscopy.
