This study examines the cardiovascular effects of microdosing LSD in mice and finds no significant risk despite 5-HT2B receptor activation.

This study examines how chronic alcohol drinking affects sex-specific affective behavior and medial prefrontal cortex activity in CRF1:Cre:Tdtomato transgenic rats, finding that alcohol intake correlates with anxiety and depressive-like behaviors and CRF1 neuron activity.

This study shows that psilocin causes sex-specific, time-dependent changes in central amygdala reactivity and threat responses to aversive stimuli.

This study examines sex differences in affective states and their association with voluntary ethanol intake in rats, finding that depressive-like behavior predicts ethanol intake in females and increased depressive-like behavior in males.
