Enhancing cGMP signaling with psilocybin reduces head twitch and restructures the synaptic proteome while maintaining antidepressant response

Gabriele Floris, Sarah J. Jefferson, Jocelyne A. Rondeau…·Alfred P. Kaye

This study combines psilocybin with a PDE9 inhibitor to reduce head-twitch response and alter synaptic proteome while preserving antidepressant effects.

Prefrontal 5α-reductase 2 mediates male-specific acute stress response

Roberto Cadeddu, Giulia Braccagni, Gabriele Floris…·Marco Bortolato

This study identifies 5R2 as a key mediator of male-specific acute stress response in the prefrontal cortex through increased expression and AP synthesis under stress.

The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces opioid self-administration

Gabriel D. Bossé, Roberto Cadeddu, Gabriele Floris…·Randall Theodore Peterson

This study shows finasteride reduces opioid self-administration in zebrafish and rats without affecting locomotion or feeding, and suggests steroidogenic pathways as potential targets for OUD treatment.
