This study shows that biological sex and gonadal hormones influence cocaine-induced behavioral and neuronal plasticity in mice, with males and females showing distinct responses.

This study investigates sex and estrous cycle differences in cocaine-induced changes to D1R- and D2R-MSN excitability in the mouse nucleus accumbens core, finding significant sex-specific effects.

This study shows sex differences in cocaine-induced plasticity in D1- and D2-MSNs of the mouse nucleus accumbens shell, with males showing reduced D1-MSN excitability and females showing increased D2-MSN excitability.

This study shows acetic acid, an ethanol metabolite, increases excitability of accumbens shell neurons via NMDAR activation, with stronger effects in females.
