This study identifies a novel population of CRF-expressing lateral habenula neurons in mice and characterizes their sex-specific behavioral and electrophysiological properties.

This study shows that LPA16:0, derived from platelets, reduces adult neurogenesis and stress resilience in anxiety disorders by activating LPA1 receptors.

This study investigates how repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) affects corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) modulation of lateral habenula (LHb) excitability and motivated behavior in male and female mice, revealing sex-specific neurobehavioral effects.

This study shows that repetitive mTBI causes LHb neuronal dysfunction, leading to motivational deficits, and that inhibiting LHb activity can reverse these deficits.

This study shows that early life stress increases glutamatergic synaptic activity in the lateral habenula, which persists into adulthood and reduces morphine intake and reward behavior in rats.
