This study compares fear and safety learning in rats, finding distinct neural activation patterns and behavioral outcomes, with safety learning promoting faster fear suppression.

This study identifies anterior cingulate μ-opioid signaling as critical for placebo analgesia in neuropathic pain using whole-brain network analysis in mice.

The paper identifies a shared neural circuit involving CCK projections from the anterior cingulate cortex to the lateral periaqueductal gray that mediates nocebo pain behavior in mice.

This study demonstrates that intranasal mRNA-LNP delivery of synthetic oxytocin promotes social behavior and reduces pain without systemic inflammation or motor impairment.

This study evaluates analgesic efficacy and administration routes post-craniotomy in mice using the grimace scale, finding injectable analgesics more effective than water-administered ones.
