This study examines sex differences in relapse vulnerability after oxycodone abstinence by analyzing neural circuit adaptations in the thalamo-accumbal pathway in male and female rats.

The paper investigates how GBA1 mutations affect glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) expression in dopaminergic neurons, linking lipid accumulation to Parkinson's disease risk.

This study investigates how sleep disruption affects anxiety-related circuits in female mice by examining synaptic changes in BLA to CRF-CeL projections.

This study shows PACAP modulates anxiety circuits by altering synaptic efficacy in BLA-ovBNST-adBNST pathways, leading to inhibition of adBNST and increased anxiety.

This study identifies a novel population of MC4R-expressing neurons in the infralimbic prefrontal cortex of mice that regulate food intake and executive function.

This study investigates the role of SALM1/LRFN2 in synaptic function and behavior by analyzing Lrfn2-/- mice, finding altered synaptic plasticity, inhibitory synapse development, and social communication behaviors.
