Neurovascular unit adjustments following chronic distress explain motivational deficits in mice

This study shows that chronic corticosterone treatment in mice leads to neurovascular unit changes that correlate with motivational deficits, particularly through alterations in vascular tight junctions.

Linoleic acid supplementation reverses microglial response to diet induced-obesity at hypothalamic, cortical and subcortical level in mice

This study shows that linoleic acid supplementation reduces microglial inflammation in multiple brain regions of mice with diet-induced obesity.

Beneficial effects of prolonged 2-phenylethyl alcohol inhalation on chronic distress-induced anxio-depressive-like phenotype in female mice

This study investigates the effects of prolonged 2-phenylethyl alcohol inhalation on chronic corticosterone-induced anxio-depressive-like behaviors in female mice, finding it reverses behavioral and neurobiological changes.

Chronic distress in male mice impairs motivation compromising both effort and reward processing with altered anterior insular cortex and basolateral amygdala neural activation

Chronic Exposure to Glucocorticoids Induces Suboptimal Decision-Making in Mice

This study shows chronic glucocorticoid exposure impairs decision-making and cognitive functions in mice, with associated neurobiological changes in the prefrontal cortex.

Modeling decision-making under uncertainty: a direct comparison study between human and mouse gambling data

This study compares decision-making under uncertainty in humans and mice using gambling tasks, finding similar performance patterns but slight interspecies differences.
