The paper investigates nicotinic receptor responses in fast-spiking neurons of rat somatosensory cortex across development, finding presynaptic regulation but no postsynaptic responses despite receptor expression.

This study shows that gestational chlorpyrifos exposure causes lasting synaptic and structural changes in the rat somatosensory cortex, potentially explaining neurodevelopmental issues.

This study examines transcriptomic changes in reward and sensory brain regions of juvenile mice exposed to perinatal fentanyl, revealing sex-specific gene expression patterns and enriched biological processes.

This study shows that perinatal fentanyl exposure causes long-term impairments in somatosensory function and behavior in mice, with changes in synaptic and morphological properties.
