This study examines USV profiles and kappa opioid receptor involvement in neonatal opioid withdrawal in female mice, finding increased Complex 3 syllables and female-specific KOR system activation.

This study examines the effects of prenatal morphine exposure on neonatal behavior and transcriptome in mice, finding myelin gene downregulation but no long-term behavioral impacts in adulthood.

The paper identifies a Gabra2 variant that increases methamphetamine sensitivity using QTL analysis in mice and validates it with CRISPR correction.

This study investigates sex differences in behavioral and brainstem transcriptomic changes in mice exposed to neonatal opioids, finding sex-specific neuroadaptations linked to NOWS-like behaviors.

The paper identifies a dynamic hnRNP H RNA targetome in the striatum that responds to methamphetamine, affecting gene expression and behavior.

The paper identifies genetic loci influencing binge-like eating in mice using a cross between C57BL/6J and DBA/2J strains, finding sex-specific and combined QTLs.

This study shows that cuprizone reduces binge eating specifically in male C57BL/6NJ mice, suggesting sex-specific mechanisms influenced by genetic background.
