This study shows early life stress increases vulnerability to migraine by altering brain network activity in response to CGRP.

This study uses scRNA-seq in mouse prefrontal cortex to identify gene expression patterns associated with stress vulnerability network activity, finding key roles for astrocytes, glutamatergic neurons, and GABAergic neurons.

This study identifies a skin-brain touch pathway involving Mrgprb4-lineage touch neurons that promotes stress resilience by modulating neural activity and corticosterone levels in mice.
