Sex differences in circulating endocannabinoid concentrations during adolescence: Associations with pubertal development
Endocannabinoids contribute to sex-related processes, including puberty. In 1,159 adolescents, females showed significantly lower concentrations than males across five endocannabinoids (AEA, 2-AG, PEA, OEA, and 2-OG). Sex-by-puberty inte...

Enhancing cGMP signaling with psilocybin reduces head twitch and restructures the synaptic proteome while maintaining antidepressant response
Psilocybin produces antidepressant effects, but perceptual effects limit tolerability. We hypothesized that enhancing cGMP signaling with a phosphodiesterase-9 inhibitor (PDE9i) would diminish a rodent behavioral readout of 5-HT₂AR activ...

Testing neurobiological models of reward/incentive sensitization in the continuation of alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms in young adults with AUD: A four-year longitudinal study
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) remains an urgent public health problem. Alcohol response phenotype may be an important factor underlying vulnerability to and progression of AUD. This study examined the prospective association between acute a...

A living systematic review, meta-analysis, and open data resource of trials of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) has emerged as a potential treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, rapidly changing evidence in a fast-moving field can be challenging to integrate. Here, we present a living...

Modulation of the noradrenergic system using transcranial ultrasonic stimulation targeted to the brainstem locus coeruleus in awake mice
Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is a novel neuromodulation technique that can be used to non-invasively target the locus coeruleus (LC). The LC provides the majority of noradrenergic input to the brain and has been implicated i...

BLA kappa opioid receptor inputs to the BNST mediate social stress-induced increases in alcohol drinking
Aversive social experiences can increase alcohol consumption and precipitate relapse during abstinence. Individuals who drink to alleviate social stress are at a heightened risk for developing an alcohol use disorder (AUD). In rodents, r...

Multiple-context extinction strengthens fear suppression through hippocampal dopamine D2R-dependent memory updating
Extinction learning, which underlies exposure therapy, generates safety memories that are often context-dependent, limiting their persistence and generalization. Although varying contextual cues during extinction has been proposed to str...

ICER-Controlled inhibitory plasticity of amygdala engram neurons regulates fear memory precision
Fear discrimination—the ability to distinguish threatening stimuli from non-threatening ones—is an essential adaptive behavior, yet the neural mechanisms underlying individual differences in discrimination precision remain unclear. Here,...

The claustrum encodes and scales appetitive feeding
The claustrum regulates reward processing, but its role in feeding remains unknown. We report that palatable food recruits claustral neurons and a claustrum-to-medial prefrontal cortex circuit whose activation reduces high-fat diet intak...
