This study shows that insular parvalbumin interneurons modulate impulsivity and alcohol consumption, with reduced activation linked to increased impulsivity and alcohol intake in adolescents.

This study shows chronic neuropathic pain in mice selectively affects reversal learning and pain-reward interactions, with sex-dependent differences, without broadly impairing sucrose self-administration.

The paper identifies a circuit mechanism in the globus pallidus externa that regulates risk-taking behavior through specific neuronal activity.

This study shows that repeated ethanol intoxication during early adolescence leads to sex-specific changes in risk-taking behavior and alcohol consumption in adult mice.

The paper investigates how CB1 and GABAB receptors modulate presynaptic GABA release in striatal indirect pathway projections to the globus pallidus in mice, finding distinct mechanisms for each receptor.

This study examines sex-dependent changes in striatal dopamine release, sleep, and behavior during THC abstinence in mice, finding more consistent effects in males.

This study examines how binge drinking affects globus pallidus connectivity and its relationship with impulsivity and drinking behaviors in humans.
