This study investigates non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment for repetitive blast trauma in mice, finding reduced inflammation and behavioral changes but not all effects.

This paper introduces a novel fecal microbiota transplant method using 'poopsicles' to reduce stress in mice, showing lower corticosterone levels and better microbial similarity compared to traditional gavage.

This study examines polysubstance use patterns of alcohol and fentanyl in male and female mice, revealing sex differences and linking behavioral traits to consumption patterns using machine learning.

This study shows that AQP4 mis-localization impairs glymphatic clearance of α-synuclein and promotes its aggregation and spread in neurodegenerative diseases.

The SIP system provides an open-source, cost-effective solution for monitoring polysubstance intake in group-housed mice with high temporal resolution.

This study shows that repetitive blast trauma in mice increases dynorphin and cytokines, which are reduced by a KOR antagonist, improving behavioral outcomes.

This study examines sex differences in acute and chronic outcomes of repetitive blast mTBI in mice, finding similar and divergent patterns of cytokine, microbiome, and behavioral changes between sexes.

This study shows that repetitive blast exposure in mice leads to chronic aversive responses to environmental cues, unlike single exposures, highlighting the complex effects of repeated trauma.
