The paper identifies pretrauma cognitive traits predicting trauma-induced fear generalization and prefrontal cortex changes in a rat model of PTSD.

This study compares the behavioral responses of paradise fish and zebrafish in social and non-social tasks, finding that paradise fish show less social bias and more consistent behavior in individual-based assays.

The paper identifies endocannabinoid and neuroplasticity-related changes in a rat PTSD model that distinguish susceptible from resilient individuals.

This paper introduces a validated test battery to measure trait anxiety in rodents by combining multiple behavioral tests and using summary measures to improve predictive validity and molecular correlate identification.

This study shows that activating somatostatin neurons in the BNST enhances cued fear memory consolidation in mice without affecting immediate fear expression.

This study shows that early-life social isolation in zebrafish alters serotonergic signaling and behavioral responsiveness to challenges, with pharmacological intervention rescuing these effects.
