This paper identifies distinct roles of dopamine D3 and D1 receptors in regulating motivation and reinforcement in the nucleus accumbens, showing compartmentalized signaling within the same cell type.

This study shows that NR2B-containing NMDA receptors on adult-born hippocampal neurons are necessary for (R,S)-ketamine's rapid-acting antidepressant effects in male and female mice.

This study shows that (R,S)-ketamine and (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine prevent stress-induced depressive-like behavior in female mice, with ovarian hormones mediating their efficacy.
