The paper maps the efferent projections of dopaminergic zona incerta neurons in mice, revealing their connectivity to motor-related brain regions and similarities to GABAergic ZI cells.

This study maps the anatomical connections and activation patterns of the dorsomedial nucleus accumbens (dmACB) and finds reduced dmACB activation correlates with increased opioid seeking after abstinence.

The paper introduces Chemopleth 1.0, a spatial database of rat hypothalamic neurochemical systems with tools for visualization and spatial analysis.

The paper maps reciprocal connections between the cingulate region and the diencephalon in rats, revealing spatial segregation of infralimbic and anterior cingulate area connections.

This study investigates whether sympathetic innervation of brown adipose tissue mediates oxytocin-induced weight loss in diet-induced obese rats, finding it is not required.

This study examines the effects of nicotine vapor withdrawal in rats, finding increased plasma cotinine, somatic signs, anxiety-like behavior, and elevated reward thresholds.

The paper shows that 2-DG rapidly activates specific neurons in the locus ceruleus and nucleus of solitary tract, as measured by phospho-ERK1/2 immunoreactivity, within 15 minutes of administration.

This study shows that aging in male Fischer 344 rats is associated with downregulation of glutamate and GABA neurotransmission-related genes in the RVLM, with glutamate-related genes more affected.

The paper identifies a novel hypothalamic neuron population in mice that co-expresses tyrosine hydroxylase and the vesicular GABA transporter, localized primarily in the zona incerta.

The paper links transcriptomic, proteomic, and peptidomic brain data to their original brain regions using digital atlas mapping techniques, focusing on the hypothalamus.

The paper validates field methods for preserving lizard brain tissue in remote areas, showing they maintain cytoarchitecture, immunostaining, and imaging quality comparable to lab conditions.
