Altered glr-1 expression is linked to EtOH cessation-mediated behavior deficits in C. elegans.

This study shows that EtOH cessation disrupts associative memory in C. elegans by downregulating glr-1 and increasing CREB activity, linking AMPAR regulation to behavior deficits.

Distinct patterns of PV and SST GABAergic neuronal activity in the basal forebrain during olfactory-guided behavior in mice

The paper investigates the activity patterns of PV and SST GABAergic neurons in the basal forebrain during odor-guided behavior in mice, finding distinct roles in reward and discrimination.

Behavioral screening of conserved RNA-binding proteins reveals CEY-1/YBX RNA-binding protein dysfunction leads to impairments in memory and cognition

The paper identifies CEY-1/YBX RNA-binding proteins as memory regulators in C. elegans and links YBX dysfunction to neurological symptoms in humans.

Dynamic cholinergic tone in the basal forebrain reflects reward-seeking and reinforcement during olfactory behavior

The paper examines how cholinergic signaling in the basal forebrain changes during reward-seeking and learning behaviors, showing increased signaling during reward-seeking and suppression after reward delivery.
