The paper compares the developmental maturation of somatostatin-expressing interneurons in the prelimbic and barrel cortices, finding prolonged remodeling in the prelimbic cortex.

This study shows that old mice have difficulty updating existing memories in the hippocampus, but re-engaging the original memory engram can improve this ability.

This study shows adolescent alcohol exposure in mice leads to sex-specific behavioral and neural changes, with females showing increased alcohol preference and males showing altered cellular excitability.

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

This study investigates the role of somatostatin neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis in binge drinking, finding sex-dependent effects in female mice.

This study shows that manipulating somatostatin neurons in the prelimbic cortex reduces binge alcohol consumption in both males and females.

The paper investigates the effects of moderate prenatal ethanol exposure on axon development in E15.5 mice, finding increased L1+ axon length.
