This study identifies astrocyte reactivity in the central amygdala due to ethanol dependence through multi-omics analysis in mice, revealing adaptive and maladaptive changes in neuroimmune and cytoskeletal pathways.

The paper investigates how engrams encode negative-hedonic valence related to alcohol withdrawal in rats, linking these engrams to compulsive alcohol seeking and relapse vulnerability.

The paper identifies cue-specific neurotransmitter changes in the medial prefrontal cortex of rats during relapse-promoting and relapse-suppressing cues for cocaine or alcohol self-administration.

The paper compares human and mouse Purkinje cells, finding human cells have greater dendritic complexity and computational capacity.
