This study investigates sex-specific effects of Cacna1c deletion in D1-expressing cells on fear and spatial memory in mice, revealing differential impacts on male and female behavior.

This study shows that drug-context memory acquisition and extinction in mice involve distinct epigenetic and transcriptional changes in the dentate gyrus, with non-overlapping genomic regions and gene functions.

This study shows that increasing 2-AG levels reduces opioid reward but not analgesia in mice, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for pain treatment.

This paper develops GeeC, a genetically encoded actuator that boosts L-type CaV1.2/1.3 channel function in cardiomyocytes and neurons, enhancing calcium influx and excitation-transcription coupling.
