Male and female variability in response to chronic stress and morphine in C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and their BXD progeny

The paper investigates genetic and sex differences in stress and morphine responses across mouse strains and their progeny, finding genetic influences on stress vulnerability and morphine sensitivity.

History of winning and hierarchy landscape influence stress susceptibility in mice

The paper shows that social rank and history of winning influence stress susceptibility in mice, with dominance conferring resilience and subordination increasing susceptibility.

LRRK2 mutation alters behavioral, synaptic and non-synaptic adaptations to acute social stress

This study shows that LRRK2-G2019S mutation alters behavioral and synaptic responses to acute social stress in mice, suggesting impaired adaptive plasticity in neural circuits linked to psychopathology.

Orexin signaling in GABAergic lateral habenula neurons modulates aggressive behavior

This study shows orexin signaling in GABAergic lateral habenula neurons promotes aggression and conditioned place preference, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for reducing aggressive behaviors.
