This study examines sex differences in fear behaviors after naloxone administration in rats, finding sex-specific effects on freezing, shock response, and ultrasonic vocalizations.

This study examines differences in conditioned fear responses between male rats, Darters, and Non-darters, finding no heightened reactivity in Darters to aversive stimuli.

This study shows that adult-born neurons maintain hippocampal cholinergic inputs and support working memory during aging by sustaining septohippocampal circuits.

The paper shows that CB1R blockade increases contextual fear generalization in female rats but not males, mediated by TRPV1R, and identifies sex differences in vHip-BLA circuitry.
