Fear extinction is an adaptive process whereby defensive responses are attenuated
following repeated experience of prior fear-related stimuli without harm. The formation of …

Oxytocin (OT), a nonapeptide, has a variety of functions. Despite extensive studies on OT
over past decades, our understanding of its neural functions and their regulation remains …

The central amygdala (CeA) contains a diverse population of cells, including multiple
subtypes of GABAergic neurons, along with glia and epithelial cells. Specific CeA cell types …

Ethanol (EtOH) has effects on numerous cellular molecular targets, and alterations in
synaptic function are prominent among these effects. Acute exposure to EtOH activates or …

A continuously increasing amount of research shows that oxytocin is involved in numerous
central functions. Among the functions in which oxytocin is thought to be involved are those …

Excessive alcohol use disrupts neuroimmune signaling across various cell types, including
neurons, microglia, and astrocytes. The present review focuses on recent, albeit limited …

Aims Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is linked to hyperactivity of brain stress systems, leading to
withdrawal states which drive relapse. AUD differs among the sexes, as men are more likely …
