Pharmacological blockade of glutamatergic input to the lateral habenula modulates consumption of palatable diet components in male Wistar rats

This study investigates the effect of blocking glutamatergic input to the lateral habenula on palatable diet consumption in rats, finding no major acute effects but some long-term changes.

Early-life stress lastingly impacts microglial transcriptome and function under basal and immune-challenged conditions

This study shows that early-life stress alters microglial transcriptome and function in mice, affecting phagocytic capacity and gene expression in adulthood.
