This study shows that Candida albicans colonization reduces ethanol consumption and alters dopamine signaling and behavioral responses in mice through prostaglandin E2.

The paper shows that BLA network states modulated by {delta} subunit-containing GABAA receptors on PV interneurons predict voluntary alcohol intake.

This study shows chronic stress impairs endogenous neurosteroid signaling in the BLA, leading to behavioral deficits, and suggests targeting neurosteroidogenesis could be a new treatment for mood disorders.

This study shows alcohol modulates BLA network states differently in male and female mice, involving δ-GABAARs on PV interneurons, linking alcohol use and anxiety behaviors.

This study shows that NAcLSh to VP connections regulate sign-tracking behavior, while VP to NAcLSh connections do not, suggesting directional circuit roles in reward cue motivation.
