This study uses active place avoidance and machine learning to show that defensive behaviors in mice depend on threat imminence, punishment intensity, and behavioral agency, with sex-dependent differences.

This study shows that daily intermittent fasting reduces seizure frequency and improves sociability in mouse models of absence epilepsy without adverse effects.

The paper profiles the translatome of dorsal striatum PV interneurons, identifying molecular signatures and gene expression changes linked to psychostimulant exposure and reward behaviors.

This study investigates the sex-specific effects of NALCN deletion in Drd2-expressing striatal spiny projection neurons, revealing sex differences in excitability and behavior.

This study shows that mGlu3 receptor surface expression and function depend on PICK1 interaction, and disrupting this interaction reduces hippocampal theta oscillations in vitro and in vivo.

This paper shows that d-amphetamine and methylphenidate increase GluA1 phosphorylation at Ser845 in mouse cerebellar Bergmann Glia Cells via norepinephrine signaling.

This study shows that cerebellar dopamine D2 receptors in Purkinje cells regulate social novelty preference in mice without affecting motor functions.

The paper investigates ERK activation in the tail of the striatum (TS) in response to various stimuli, finding that D1R-SPNs in specific subterritories are activated by psychostimulants but not hallucinogens.

This study investigates the protective effects of mGlu7 receptor activation against epileptogenesis and seizures using a drug in two mouse models.
