The paper examines gene expression changes in dopamine and GABA neurons during aging in mice, identifying shared and distinct molecular signatures linked to neurodegenerative disease susceptibility.

This study identifies hyperexcitability in VTA dopamine neurons of 3xTg-AD mice due to CK2-dependent SK channel dysfunction, linking it to reward-based learning deficits.

This study finds that aged mice acquire intravenous opioid self-administration faster than young mice, with variable effects on intake and cue-responding for remifentanil but not fentanyl.
