Pleasurable touch is paramount during social behavior, including sexual encounters. However, the identity and precise role of sensory neurons that transduce remain unknown. A population labeled by developmental expression G protein-coupled receptor Mrgprb4 detects mechanical stimulation in mice. Here, we study relevance Mrgprb4-lineage reveal these are required for receptivity sufficient to induce dopamine release brain. Even isolation, optogenetic through back skin a conditioned place...
Binge alcohol drinking is a risk factor linked to numerous disease states including use disorder (AUD). While men binge drink more than women, this demographic gap quickly shrinking, and preclinical studies demonstrate that females consistently consume males. Further, women are at increased for the co-expression of AUD with neuropsychiatric diseases such as anxiety mood disorders. However, little understood about chronic voluntary its long-term effects on behavior. Here, we sought...
Neuromodulation-based interventions continue to be evaluated across an array of appetitive disorders but broader implementation these approaches remains limited due variable treatment outcomes. We hypothesize that individual variation in outcomes may linked differences the networks underlying disorders. Here, Sprague-Dawley rats received deep brain stimulation separately within each nucleus accumbens (NAc) sub-region (core and shell) using a within-animal crossover design rat model binge...
This manuscript discusses the story of Baby Doe, an infant from Afghanistan whose parents died during a raid by U.S. Marines. She was initially placed with relatives but one Marine, Joshua Mast, would “adopt” her without caregivers’ knowledge. briefly explains history and neuroscience maternal separation, advocates for Doe to be returned rightful caregivers.
