This study identifies PSTN Crh neurons as a key driver of alcohol drinking escalation in dependence, showing their role shifts from inhibitory to stimulatory with dependence.

This study identifies PSTN Crh neurons as drivers of alcohol drinking escalation and behavioral disinhibition in mice, independent of CRF1 signaling.

This study investigates whether ethanol's interaction with BK channel α subunit residue K361 mediates behavioral responses to alcohol in mice, finding no significant effects on ethanol-related behaviors or consumption.

This study identifies PSTN neuron subpopulations that regulate feeding initiation and consumption behaviors in mice during refeeding.
