Biological sex influences decision-making processes in significant ways, differentiating the responses animals choose when faced with a range of stimuli. The neurobiological underpinnings that dictate differences tasks remains an important open question, yet single-sex studies males form most behavioural neuroscience. Here we used female and male BALB/c mice on two spatial learning memory examined expression perineuronal nets (PNNs) parvalbumin interneurons (PV) regions correlated memory....
Corticostriatal circuits, particularly the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) and lateral orbitofrontal cortex, are critical for navigating reversal learning under probabilistic uncertainty. These same areas implicated in impairments observed individuals with psychosis as well their psychotic symptoms, suggesting that they may share a common neurobiological substrate. To address this question, we used psychostimulant exposure specific activation of DMS during mice to assess corticostriatal...
