The paper analyzes ethanol drinking patterns in mice using high-resolution fluid meal analysis to identify sex- and housing-dependent behavioral differences and a meal phenotype linked to social dominance.

This study shows that MC3R neurons in the BST modulate feeding and defensive behaviors, with sex-specific effects on feeding reduction and stress responses.

This study shows that cocaine exposure increases calreticulin in the ventral hippocampus via ΔFosB, reducing excitability in the vHPC-NAc circuit and promoting cocaine seeking and reward.

This study develops a group-housed lickometer system to investigate how sex and social housing influence ethanol consumption in mice, revealing sex- and housing-based differences in drinking behavior.

The paper introduces LIQ HD, an open-source device for accurately recording two-bottle drinking behavior in home cages using capacitive sensors, validated for prolonged undisturbed use and microstructure analysis.
