The paper investigates sex-specific differences in endocannabinoid regulation of cocaine-evoked dopamine in rats, finding females show enhanced sensitivity to CB1R and 2-AG effects.

This study identifies a neural circuit involving the subfornical organ and infralimbic cortex that modulates fear responses to carbon dioxide, linking interoceptive signals to fear behavior.

This study shows that stress increases cocaine self-administration in rats and that blocking CB1 receptors in the mesolimbic system reduces this effect and relapse.

This study shows that repeated footshock stress increases cocaine self-administration in both male and female rats, with CB1R signaling playing a role in this effect across sexes.
