The paper develops pharmacological tools to selectively target central versus peripheral dopamine D2-like receptors and shows their distinct roles in treating dysglycemia.

This study identifies the nuclear GAPDH cascade in microglia as a mediator of stress-induced cognitive inflexibility and shows that targeting it can normalize cognitive deficits.

This study shows that Tsn knockout mice exhibit increased amphetamine-induced hyperactivity due to elevated adiposity, which raises brain amphetamine levels.

This paper develops a dendrimer-conjugated GCPII inhibitor (D-2PMPA) that improves cognition in MS mice without affecting disease severity.
