🚨Very excited to share a new paper from our lab in Neuron (@cp-neuron.bsky.social) on the influence of the estrous cycle on structural and functional plasticity in the hippocampus: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Thread below 🧠🧪🧵:
The estrous cycle modulates hippocampal spine dynamics, dendritic processing, and spatial coding
Histological evidence suggests that the estrous cycle exerts a powerful influence on CA1 neurons in the mammalian hippocampus. Decades have passed sin…

Stress avoidance training reduces heroin-seeking in adult female rats & alters dorsal striatal chaperonin expression. Could stress resilience developed in youth shape OUD outcomes in humans? www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

An excerpt from the article "Adolescent stress avoidance influences cue-induced heroin seeking and chaperonin gene expression in the dorsal striatum of adult female rats": "...our study enhances the understanding of how adolescent stressor controllability affects opioid behaviors in adult females. The varied gene expression of chaperonins in DS sub-regions suggests pathways for further research into stress resilience and opioid addiction." by Kassandra Looschen, Ann Jeffers, Songjukta Chakraborty, Colin Salisbury, Anastasia Dodge, Mason Hochstetler & Swarup Mitra
