The paper identifies sex differences in neural circuits driving binge drinking, finding a female-specific role for the amygdalo-striatal pathway in alcohol misuse.

This study examines sex differences in approach-avoidance behaviors in fasted and sated male and female mice across various tasks, revealing nuanced differences in decision-making under different reward and threat conditions.

The paper investigates how the Edinger-Westphal nucleus's ghrelin receptor signaling influences binge alcohol consumption differently in male and female mice.

This study shows that impaired metabolic-sensing in AgRP neurons reduces dopamine release in the dorsal striatum and suppresses reward-seeking behavior, especially under hunger.
