This study investigates how adolescent intermittent ethanol exposure affects perineuronal net expression in the prelimbic cortex and its impact on social behavior in male rats.

The paper examines sex differences in neural activity patterns associated with ethanol-induced social facilitation and inhibition in adolescent rats.

This study shows that moderate prenatal alcohol exposure on gestational day 12 causes sex-specific social impairments in adulthood and alters neural circuits involved in social behavior.

This study examines how adolescent intermittent ethanol exposure affects social drinking and neuropeptide gene expression in male and female rats, revealing sex-specific impacts on ethanol consumption and hypothalamic gene expression.

This study investigates how adolescent intermittent ethanol exposure affects dopamine transmission and KOR function in rats, showing sex- and timing-dependent differences.

This study shows that prenatal ethanol exposure affects social anxiety and ethanol intake differently in male and female offspring, with high social anxiety linked to increased ethanol consumption.

This study shows that adolescent forced swim stress increases social anxiety-like behaviors and alters KOR function in the BLA of male rats, but not adults or females.

This study examines how stress and age affect social behavior and response to a kappa opioid receptor agonist in rats, showing age-specific changes in behavior and sensitivity.
