This study examines sex differences in BNST CRF signaling during phasic and sustained fear in mice, finding sex-specific effects on fear responses and suggesting implications for anxiety treatment.

This study examines how acute and chronic alcohol exposure affects calcium dynamics in the extended amygdala, showing changes in neuronal activity and coherence in a sex-specific manner.

The paper uses c-fos mapping and network analysis to show that alcohol dependence alters brain network activity during abstinence and reaccess in mice, with increased network modularity in high-drinking mice after reaccess.
