This study shows that insular parvalbumin interneurons modulate impulsivity and alcohol consumption, with reduced activation linked to increased impulsivity and alcohol intake in adolescents.

The paper shows that astrocyte calcium signals and the protein hevin mediate cocaine-induced reward and synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens.

This study examines how different cocaine self-administration regimens affect incubation of craving and NAcc neuronal ensembles, finding extended access promotes stronger craving and altered neuronal activation patterns.

The paper investigates conditions under which ethanol-associated memories in mice become labile and susceptible to reconsolidation disruption, finding that specific reactivation parameters do not trigger destabilization.

This study investigates whether ayahuasca reduces ethanol-induced conditioned place preference and affects ΔFosB expression in mice, finding that ayahuasca blocks ethanol preference without altering ΔFosB levels.
