Divergent gene expression in alcohol and opioid usedisorders results in consistent alterations in functional networks in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex

Martha MacDonald, Pablo Augusto de Souza Fonseca, Kory R. Johnson…·Daniel Almeida da Silva e Silva

This study identifies divergent gene expression in AUD and OUD but finds shared biological pathways in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 limits dopamine D1 receptor signaling in the striatum and biases against heavy persistent alcohol drinking

DANIEL NOBRE; NUNES DA SILVA, Aya Matsui, Erin M. Murray…·Veronica A. Alvarez

This study shows that LRRK2 in D1R-expressing striatal neurons reduces alcohol drinking by modulating D1R signaling and resilience to heavy drinking.
