The paper shows that high hormone states protect against threat memory overexpression by recruiting the lateral septum, with a novel neuron population involved in this process.

This study examines sex differences in avoidance behavior and cued threat memory in mice across genetic strains and estrous cycles, finding genetic and hormonal influences on anxiety-related behaviors.

This study examines sex differences in socioemotional behaviors and ventral hippocampal transcription across aging in C57Bl/6J mice, finding sex-specific age-related changes in gene expression and behavior.

The paper shows that short-term estradiol treatment after menopause in rats enhances cognitive aging by maintaining hippocampal estrogen receptor function through interactions with IGF-1 and neuroestrogen signaling.

The paper shows that prior estradiol treatment in midlife rats maintains hippocampal ERα transcriptional regulation of memory proteins even after treatment stops.
