This study identifies and quantifies risky play-like behaviour in juvenile and young adult rats using ethological frameworks to assess developmental changes in engagement with elevated and unstable environments.

This study identifies a prefrontal cortex-lateral hypothalamus circuit that mediates stress-driven increased food intake in mice.

This paper develops a CRISPR/Cas9-based method to reduce dopamine receptor levels in multiple rodent species, enabling comparative studies of neural mechanisms.

The paper identifies distinct VTA neuronal ensembles for reward and stress and shows their necessity for adaptive behaviors.

The paper identifies a novel NPY-expressing neuronal population in the locus coeruleus that modulates noradrenergic activity to regulate anxiety.

This study identifies molecular signatures and cellular diversity during mouse habenula development using single-cell transcriptomics and links developmental subtypes to psychiatric disease.

ORANGE enables targeted genomic integration of fluorescent tags in neurons to study endogenous protein distribution with high-resolution imaging.
