Novelty-seeking and directed exploration scale with dissociable social network outcomes and brain systems in older adults

This study links undirected novelty seeking and goal-directed exploration in older adults to distinct social network outcomes and brain systems using fMRI and a social bandit reinforcement task.

Long-term effects of psilocybin on dynamic and effectivity connectivity of fronto-striatal-thalamic circuits

This paper investigates the long-term effects of psilocybin on fronto-striatal-thalamic circuit dynamics and connectivity using longitudinal fMRI data and computational modeling.

Pain-related opioidergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission: Dual Meta-Analyses of PET Radioligand Studies

This paper conducts two meta-analyses of PET radioligand studies to identify regions of shared and unique opioid and dopamine neurotransmission during pain-related processes.

Dopamine and risky decision-making in pathological and problem gamblers.

This study examines if increasing frontal dopamine with tolcapone reduces risky choices in gamblers, finding no consistent benefit and increased risk-taking.

Differentiation of primate primordial germ cell-like cells following transplantation into the adult gonadal niche

This study validates the differentiation of rhesus macaque primordial germ cell-like cells (rPGCLCs) using transplantation into adult gonadal niches, showing they commit to late PGCs and spermatogonia-like cells but not ENO2-positive spermatogonia.
