This study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 N-protein forms biomolecular condensates and interacts with ALS-associated RNA-binding proteins in vitro and human cell models.

This study shows that chronic stress alters Pnoc expression in reward-related brain regions and that NOPR antagonism improves reward learning and motivation in animals and humans.

This study shows nicotine promotes GABAergic neurons to adopt a dopaminergic phenotype, reducing alpha-synuclein-induced motor deficits in Parkinson's models.

The paper shows that photoperiod changes induce neurotransmitter switching in SCN neurons, affecting hypothalamic dopamine expression and circadian behavior.

The paper identifies serotonergic plasticity in the dorsal raphe nucleus as a marker of susceptibility to stress-induced anhedonia and shows that amygdalar activation can induce resilience.

This study shows that photoperiod-induced neurotransmitter switching declines with age in rats, associated with changes in DNA methylation and histone acetylation patterns in specific neuronal populations.
