Discrete projections from MCH neurons mediate anti-parkinsonian effects of acupuncture

Acupuncture alleviates both motor and non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease by activating two distinct MCH projections.

Distinct eLPB ChAT projections for methamphetamine anxiety and relapse

The paper identifies two distinct eLPBChAT projections to the amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis that mediate methamphetamine withdrawal anxiety and relapse.

Dopamine receptor 1 on CaMKII-positive neurons within claustrum mediates adolescent cocaine exposure-induced anxiety-like behaviors and electro-acupuncture therapy

This study identifies the role of claustrum D1RCaMKII in adolescent cocaine exposure-induced anxiety-like behaviors and shows that electro-acupuncture can alleviate these behaviors by targeting this pathway.

Nociceptive stimuli activate the hypothalamus-habenula circuit to inhibit the mesolimbic reward system

This study shows that nociceptive stimuli activate the hypothalamus-habenula circuit, which inhibits the mesolimbic reward system and reduces cocaine-seeking behavior.
