This study shows that chronic stress alters Pnoc expression in reward-related brain regions and that NOPR antagonism improves reward learning and motivation in animals and humans.

This study uses temporal interference stimulation to examine the distinct roles of dmPFC and rmPFC in cognitive control, finding differential effects on reaction times and accuracy in Stroop tasks.

This study identifies a human brain signature of pleasure using fMRI, showing it is sensitive to pleasant tastes and humor, and linked to opioid receptor activity.

The paper examines stress-induced changes in mPFC glutamate using MRS in humans and finds disrupted glutamatergic adaptation in MDD associated with pessimistic beliefs.

This study identifies functionally distinct subregions in the ventral striatum that encode action, effort, and reward discounting using fMRI in humans.
