This study uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing to show methamphetamine induces cholesterol metabolism gene upregulation in dopaminergic neurons, with drug-specific effects and potential implications for neuron function.

The paper identifies a conserved excitatory neuron gradient in human mediodorsal thalamus using single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics, linking it to psychiatric disorder risk.

The paper characterizes Avpr1b neuronal subpopulations in the fasciola cinereum and dorsal CA2 of mice, finding differences in gene expression between wildtype and BTBR mice, a model for autism.

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of median raphe to dorsal CA2 serotonin projections reduces social interaction in male mice without affecting social memory.

The paper investigates how dCA2 pyramidal neurons encode social recognition memory through activity suppression in mice.

This study shows that NMDA receptor activity in Avpr1b neurons is not required for aggression, short-term social memory, or object memory in mice.
