This study shows that male and female mice exhibit similar vulnerable and resilient phenotypes in activity-based anorexia, suggesting sex differences in anorexia prevalence may be due to sociocultural factors rather than biology.

This study investigates sex and strain differences in methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference in adolescent mice and identifies associated neural circuit changes.

This study shows that social isolation during adolescence affects spatial learning and cognitive flexibility differently in male and female mice, with lasting effects into adulthood.

The paper shows that serotonin modulates fear learning differently in male and female mice, with females showing greater sensitivity and specific circuit activation during fear memory recall.

This study shows that chronic social defeat stress leads to social avoidance through fear learning in mice, with conditioned responses to social targets.

This study shows that reducing Csf3 in Csf1r+/- mice improves anxiety, motor coordination, and social interaction but not cognitive deficits, and reduces microglial activation in the cerebellum.

The paper shows that persistent PKMζ increases in specific hippocampal neurons during LTP maintenance and spatial memory storage, indicating its role in long-term memory.
