This study examines the long-term neurobehavioral and neurochemical effects of adolescent 5F-MDMB-PICA IV self-administration in mice, showing increased aggression, reduced social interaction, and mPFC dysfunction in adulthood.

This study shows that astrocytic Dys1A hypofunction disrupts dopamine dynamics and leads to motivational and sensorimotor gating deficits in the basal ganglia.

This study uses chemogenetic-fMRI to identify brain regions activated by serotonergic stimulation, showing region-specific effects rather than global activity changes.
