This study shows that social defeat affects pair bond formation differently in male and female prairie voles, with BNST CRH neurons playing a sex-specific role in regulating these changes.

The paper examines how opposite-sex pairing affects calcium and dopamine activity in the insular cortex of male prairie voles and identifies changes in D1 and D2 receptor mRNA expression associated with pair bonding.

The paper investigates c-Fos expression and synaptic changes in a mouse Alzheimer's model, finding that functional connectivity predicts c-Fos abnormalities and synaptic weakening in the visual cortex.

The paper investigates how dCA2 pyramidal neurons encode social recognition memory through activity suppression in mice.

This study investigates social defeat stress in both male and female prairie voles, showing increased DRD1 expression in the medial amygdala and its role in inducing social avoidance.
