This study identifies cell-type and sex-specific gene expression and electrophysiological rhythms in mouse prefrontal cortex neurons, showing differences in rhythmic transcripts and biological processes between excitatory pyramidal cells and inhibitory PV interneurons.

The paper identifies three temporally sequenced clusters of NAc neuron activity in mice during reward seeking and shows that D1 and D2 neuron activity at specific times predicts and influences lever-pressing behavior.

This study identifies an EEG signature that tracks MCH neuron activity and predicts cocaine seeking behavior in rats.

The paper identifies two BLA subprojections to NAc that differentially encode reward and cue-mediated reinforcement in drug seeking behavior.

This study shows cocaine induces silent synapse formation via astrocyte-mediated mechanisms, contributing to relapse.
