This study shows that chronic intermittent ethanol exposure in female mice leads to increased ethanol tolerance and persistent memory and anxiety-like behavioral changes during abstinence.

This study identifies region-specific serotonin signaling changes in the ACC and CeA after binge alcohol consumption, showing differential effects on reward and aversion behaviors.

This study examines behavioral adaptations in female mice during fentanyl abstinence, finding persistent withdrawal symptoms and altered behaviors that may contribute to relapse vulnerability.

The paper identifies region-specific serotonergic and opioid receptor gene expression differences linked to distinct ethanol drinking phenotypes in mice.

This study shows that synaptogyrin-3 reduces cocaine self-administration and prevents dopamine deficits by enhancing dopamine signaling and cognitive flexibility in rats.

This study shows that chronic heroin self-administration reduces basal dopamine levels and alters dopamine release dynamics in the nucleus accumbens, potentially contributing to increased heroin seeking.
