Paraventricular Thalamus Neurons Encode Early-life Adversity and execute Consequent Sex-dependent Disruptions of Adult Reward Behaviors

The paper identifies sex-dependent roles of paraventricular thalamus neurons in mediating the effects of early-life adversity on adult reward behaviors in mice.

Sex-and Stress-Dependent Plasticity of a Corticotropin Releasing Hormone / GABA Projection from the Basolateral Amygdala to Nucleus Accumbens that Mediates Reward Behaviors

The paper investigates sex- and stress-dependent plasticity of a CRH/GABA projection from the BLA to NAc, showing differential effects on reward behaviors in males and females.

Neurexins Regulate GABA Co-release by Dopamine Neurons

This study shows that neurexins regulate dopamine neuron connectivity and neurotransmission by affecting dopamine reuptake and GABA co-release.

Stress-induced plasticity of a novel CRH GABA projection disrupts reward behaviors

The paper identifies a novel stress-sensitive CRH GABA projection from the basolateral amygdala to the nucleus accumbens that contributes to reward behavior disruption following early-life adversity.
