This study introduces a new behavioral task to assess compulsive-like cocaine seeking in rats and shows it emerges after extended access with punishment.

This study investigates the role of Kv4 channels in SNc DA neurons, showing Kv4.2 also contributes to IA and demonstrating IA gating kinetics and IH interactions determine pacemaking and post-inhibitory responses.

The paper was withdrawn due to unreliable genetic deletion data in Kcnn3-/- mice, rendering the study's findings invalid.

The paper uses multivariate mutual information analysis on sc-RTqPCR data to estimate the k-dimensional topology of gene expression profiles in midbrain neurons, revealing complex combinatorial structures and regulatory principles.
