This paper shows that adolescent voluntary alcohol exposure in mice and rats does not reliably increase adult alcohol consumption across multiple models and labs.

This study shows that moderate alcohol consumption in mice affects prefrontal cortical signaling and neuronal excitability, potentially influencing Alzheimer's disease progression.

This study investigates the role of somatostatin peptide signaling in the prelimbic cortex, showing it dampens cortical circuits and promotes exploratory behavior through specific physiological and pharmacological mechanisms.

This study shows that adolescent binge drinking in mice causes lasting changes in cortical microcircuit function, specifically affecting SST neuron excitability and pyramidal neuron activity.
