Disruption of the developmental factor Otp in the adult forebrain reveals its diverse physiological functions

This study investigates the physiological functions of Otp in adult mice, finding impaired stress responses and metabolic changes after conditional deletion.

Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript in perciforms II. Responsiveness to energetic shortage

This study examines how food deprivation affects cart gene expression in Nile tilapia and gilthead seabream, revealing species-specific responses in brain regions.

Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript in perciforms I. Phylogenetic, structural and spatial conservation

The paper identifies multiple cart genes in two fish species, analyzes their structure and expression, and highlights their complexity compared to mammals.

Taxonomy of introns, their evolution, and the role of minor introns in stress response

The paper classifies introns into five types, identifies their evolutionary patterns, and shows that minor introns are stress-responsive in fish and plants.
