This study investigates the physiological functions of Otp in adult mice, finding impaired stress responses and metabolic changes after conditional deletion.

This study shows that inhibiting FKBP51 with SAFit2 prevents social deficits caused by early life adversity in mice.

The paper studies aggression and social dominance in mice using a semi-natural setup, finding that environmental enrichment increases aggression as an adaptive response while oxytocin receptor deficiency leads to hyper-aggression and disrupted social hierarchies.

The paper shows DNA G-quadruplex regulates gene expression in neurons, affecting memory formation and fear extinction.

This study identifies FKBP51 as a molecular switch linking autophagy to metabolism in the mediobasal hypothalamus, showing its role in obesity regulation.

This study investigates the role of Fkbp5 in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in shaping the HPA axis stress response through genetic manipulations.

This study shows that repeated stress reduces spine stability and disrupts temporal and spatial coding in hippocampal CA1 neurons.

The paper shows that glucocorticoid receptors in CRF neurons are essential for HPA axis habituation to repeated stressors by modulating inhibitory tone and dampening activation.

This study shows that in mice, pre-stress social dominance interacts with sex to influence chronic stress outcomes, with males and females showing opposite behavioral responses to stress.

This study examines how social context and dominance status affect sleep patterns and quality in socially housed mice using wireless EEG and video tracking.

The paper shows that stable excitatory synaptic connectivity predicts which CA1 pyramidal neurons will become engram neurons after learning.

This study introduces a female mouse model of chronic social stress and a modified male model to investigate sex differences in stress response and long-term consequences.

This paper investigates how m6A RNA methylation in the brain is regulated by stress and shows its role in fear memory, transcriptome response, and synaptic plasticity, with implications for stress-related disorders.
