This study investigates how chromosomal and gonadal sex influence social motivation in mice, finding that gonadal sex primarily affects behavior while chromosomal sex interacts with genetic mutations to alter social behavior.

This study examines the effects of Myt1l heterozygous mutation on lifespan and health in mice, finding no significant difference in lifespan or end-of-life histopathology compared to wildtype mice.

This study examines how different DNMT3A mutations cause varied behavioral, epigenetic, and transcriptional issues in neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study examines functional connectivity changes in Mecp2 knockout mice, finding disrupted connectivity in males and subtle changes in females, suggesting sex-specific roles of MeCP2 in circuit development.

This study compares long-term effects of in utero versus continued postnatal oxycodone exposure in mice, finding sex-dependent changes in sensory and reward processing but no major behavioral deficits.

This paper develops a MYT1L syndrome mouse model that recapitulates human phenotypes, revealing disrupted brain development and neuronal maturation as underlying mechanisms.
