This study examines the relationship between sleep patterns and anhedonia in male mice exposed to early-life stress, finding significant correlations between sleep architecture and anhedonic phenotypes.

This study shows that chronic stress alters Pnoc expression in reward-related brain regions and that NOPR antagonism improves reward learning and motivation in animals and humans.

This study identifies resting state networks in awake adolescent and adult squirrel monkeys using fMRI, finding age-related differences in specific networks.

This study shows that early-life stress in male mice reduces response bias for highly rewarded stimuli in a translational reward task, suggesting potential parallels with human depression.
