This study investigates how two glutamatergic pathways to the nucleus accumbens influence vulnerability to cannabinoid addiction in mice, finding that both increase persistence of drug seeking but affect other behaviors differently.

The paper identifies sex-specific miRNA signatures in the medial prefrontal cortex associated with cannabinoid addiction-like behavior in female mice.

This study shows that deleting Shank3 in glutamatergic neurons of the anterior insular cortex causes autism-like behaviors and circuit dysfunction in mice.
