This study investigates TrkB signaling in the lateral septum using RNA-seq, identifying gene expression changes linked to psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.

This study identifies the basolateral amygdala to lateral septum circuit as critical for regulating sociability in mice through BDNF-TrkB signaling.

This study shows that synaptic Zn2+ enhances cocaine's effects on striatal dopamine neurotransmission and behavior by increasing DAT binding and altering locomotor responses.
