The paper shows that CaMKII monomers can bind GluN2B and induce synaptic potentiation, even when truncated, but only through phosphatase-resistant phosphorylation.

This study identifies molecular and circuit mechanisms in the globus pallidus that regulate cocaine-induced behavioral plasticity, showing that GPePV cell activity predicts and modulates cocaine reward and sensitization.

This study shows acute stress causes sex-dependent changes in vSUB activity, circuitry, and anxiety-like behavior in females but not males.

The paper examines the cell-type specific connectivity and synaptic properties of the vSUB-NAcMS circuit in mice, finding a functional bias for D2R MSNs and calcium-permeable AMPARs.

The paper investigates the role of Neurexin-3 in sex-dependent GABAergic inhibition in the ventral subiculum, revealing sexually dimorphic synaptic functions at PV-RS and PV-BS synapses.
