Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major socioeconomic burden on society, and
current pharmacotherapeutic treatment options are inadequate. Aberrant alcohol use and …

Binge-eating disorder is the most common eating disorder. Various neuropeptides play
important roles in the regulation of feeding behavior, including relaxin-3 (RLN3), which …

Telencephalic cognitive and emotional circuits/functions are strongly modulated by
subcortical inputs. The main focus of past research on the nature of this modulation has …

The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is a key hub of the neural circuitry regulating
alcohol and stress interactions. However, the exact neuronal populations that govern this …

The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is a key hub integrating sensory inputs and
modulating behavioural outputs. The CeA is a complex structure with discrete subdivisions …

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a highly heterogeneous limbic forebrain
structure that serves as a relay connecting autonomic, neuroendocrine and behavioral …

To ensure survival, animals must sometimes suppress fear responses triggered by potential
threats during feeding. However, the mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly …

Background and Purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors mediate alcohol consumption
and seeking in rats. While M4 and M5 receptors have recently been implicated to mediate …

The basal forebrain (BF) is involved in arousal, attention, and reward processing but the role
of individual BF neuronal subtypes is still being uncovered. Glutamatergic neurons are the …

Dravet syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with an increased
incidence of sudden death. Evidence of interictal breathing deficits in DS suggests that …
