This study shows that inhaled black carbon induces depressive-like behavior in mice and enhances molecular vulnerability under chronic stress.

The paper uses spatial transcriptomics to compare D1 and D2 neuronal compartments in the dorsal striatum under chronic stress, finding distinct transcriptional responses in D2 neurons related to synaptic signaling.

This study identifies MeCP2's cell type-specific role in regulating depression-like symptoms in the nucleus accumbens through spatial transcriptome analysis and behavioral experiments.
