This study shows prefrontal astrocytes encode reward contingencies and adapt to changes in reward associations, influencing conditioned behavior.

This study shows that oral Actinomyces species from cannabis users induce anxiety-like behavior in mice through mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced GABAergic signaling.

This study uses two-photon calcium imaging to analyze corticostriatal neuron activity in mice during heroin self-administration and relapse, identifying distinct neuronal ensembles and their role in drug-seeking behaviors.

This study shows that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) enhances extinction learning and reduces drug-seeking in rats by increasing BDNF and modulating TrkB receptors in the infralimbic cortex.
