This study shows that stress-susceptible mice have blunted diurnal firing in LHb-DRN projections and slower photoentrainment, while resilient mice maintain normal rhythms and faster entrainment.

The paper investigates how chronic social stress affects social dominance and vulnerability in mice, finding that stress susceptibility does not prevent dominance but impacts social behavior in both high- and low-status mice.

This study shows that hypothalamic stimulation increases cortical activity and accelerates sleep pressure buildup, indicating the hypothalamus regulates both state transitions and within-state arousal intensity.
