This study shows that chronic intermittent ethanol exposure in female mice leads to increased ethanol tolerance and persistent memory and anxiety-like behavioral changes during abstinence.

This study identifies region-specific serotonin signaling changes in the ACC and CeA after binge alcohol consumption, showing differential effects on reward and aversion behaviors.

This study shows that adolescent alcohol exposure reduces intrinsic excitability in adult male retrosplenial cortex pyramidal cells, suggesting vulnerability in males.

This study identifies a population of nociceptin-expressing neurons in the lateral septum that modulate binge-like alcohol consumption and shows sex-dependent effects of NOP receptor deletion.

This study investigates the role of dopamine D2 receptors in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in modulating alcohol-related behaviors in male and female mice, finding sex-specific effects on alcohol consumption and pain sensitivity.

This study shows that retrieving an ethanol-conditioned taste aversion increases GABAergic plasticity in insular cortex-BLA projection neurons, with a male-specific role for parvalbumin-expressing interneurons.

This study investigates how insula dynorphin and kappa opioid receptor systems influence alcohol drinking in mice, revealing sex-specific effects on consumption and behavior.

This study shows that activating the dorsal septum increases binge-like alcohol consumption in male mice, with sex-dependent effects on locomotor activity and sucrose drinking.
