This study identifies a hypothalamic circuit involving CRHPVN neurons that mediates stress-induced impairments in memory and sleep.

This study identifies GABAergic neurons in the hypothalamic preoptic area that regulate REM sleep homeostasis by responding to REM sleep restriction and mediating rebound.

This study shows that paternal morphine exposure increases morphine self-administration in male offspring but not females, with region-specific neural changes in reward-related brain areas.
