This study shows that chronic alcohol exposure impairs neurosteroid production and that enhancing neurosteroid levels can affect alcohol consumption and withdrawal behaviors.

This study shows that Candida albicans colonization reduces ethanol consumption and alters dopamine signaling and behavioral responses in mice through prostaglandin E2.

This study shows that both direct and witnessed trauma reduce allopregnanolone levels and impair fear regulation in mice, suggesting neurosteroid deficits contribute to PTSD-like behaviors.

The paper shows that BLA network states modulated by {delta} subunit-containing GABAA receptors on PV interneurons predict voluntary alcohol intake.
