This study shows that reducing GABA release from central amygdala neurotensin neurons decreases alcohol drinking in male mice but not females, with distinct behavioral effects in each sex.

This study examines how long-term alcohol consumption affects behavior in a tauopathy mouse model, finding significant interactions between alcohol exposure and genotype that vary by sex.

This study examines how different morphine withdrawal paradigms affect sleep behavior in male and female mice, finding sex-specific differences and highlighting the 3-day precipitated withdrawal model as most impactful.

This study shows that neurotensin neurons in the central amygdala of mice influence ethanol and sweet fluid consumption through projections to the parabrachial nucleus.
