This study shows STRADA deficiency reduces cortical inhibitory interneurons and increases striatal interneurons in mice and a human PMSE brain, suggesting impaired interneuron migration contributes to the disorder.

This study shows that prenatal THC exposure in male rats increases vulnerability to addiction-like behaviors by enhancing cue-driven dopamine responses and striatal encoding during reward seeking.

The paper develops a predictive model of cocaine relapse using dopamine release patterns and sex, showing that these factors predict relapse and extinction resistance.
