This study shows that female rats with paternal WMI lineage exhibit increased oxycodone consumption and accelerated escalation compared to reciprocal offspring, indicating a parent-of-origin effect in addiction vulnerability.

This study shows that enriched environment reverses early-onset memory deficits in middle-aged WMI female rats, with associated changes in estradiol and mitochondrial function.

This study shows that Krtcap3 knock-out rats exhibit increased adiposity and anxiety under chronic stress, with altered corticosterone responses and Nr3c1 expression.

The paper investigates the failure to replicate an adiposity phenotype linked to Krtcap3 in rats, hypothesizing that environmental stress changes during the COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced the results.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to compare nearly isogenic WMI and WLI inbred rats, identifying genetic variants associated with depression and stress-related traits.
