Adrenal remodeling encodes stress axis memory to shape fentanyl seeking

This study shows that fentanyl interacts with the HPA axis over different timescales, with adrenal remodeling encoding stress history to influence fentanyl-seeking behavior.

Modelling prodromal Parkinson's disease- gastrointestinal pathology and early motor deficits in mice after transient rotenone exposure

This study models prodromal Parkinson's disease in mice by exposing them to rotenone, revealing GI dysfunction and early brain pathology without significant motor deficits.

Targeted Magnetic Nanodiscs for Wireless Causal Manipulation of Gut-Brain Circuits

This paper develops magnetic nanodiscs for wireless, cell-type specific activation of gut-brain circuits, showing they can regulate feeding behavior through hindbrain satiety circuits.

Magnetoelectric nanodiscs diminish motor deficits in a model of Parkinson's disease

This study develops magnetoelectric nanodiscs (MENDs) for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease models, showing motor improvements and reduced oxidative stress compared to traditional DBS.
