Identifying factors that contribute to the behavioral effects of psilocybin in preclinical mouse models

The paper identifies biological and experimental factors influencing psilocybin's behavioral effects in mice using a large dataset and data-driven analyses.

The serotonin 1B receptor modulates striatal activity differentially based on behavioral context

This study investigates how the serotonin 1B receptor modulates striatal activity in mice during goal-directed behavior and impulsivity tasks, showing context-dependent effects on calcium responses in medium spiny neurons.

The serotonin 1B receptor is required for some of the behavioral effects of psilocybin in mice

This study shows that the 5-HT1BR receptor mediates some behavioral and neural effects of psilocybin in mice, including reduced anhedonia and anxiety-like behavior.

Asymptomatic neonatal herpes simplex virus infection in mice leads to long-term cognitive impairment

This study shows that asymptomatic neonatal HSV infection in mice causes long-term cognitive impairment, highlighting the role of the γ34.5 gene in neurovirulence.

A role for reward valuation in the serotonergic modulation of impulsivity

This study shows that serotonin 1B receptor deficiency increases impulsive action through enhanced reward valuation, as demonstrated in a mouse model.
