Objective More than one‐third of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) continue to have
seizures despite treatment with antiepileptic drugs, and many experience severe drug …

DREADDs (designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs) are a powerful and
tremendous new technique for selectively manipulating a specific neuronal (or non …

Cocaine drastically elevates dopamine (DA) levels in the striatum, a brain region that is
critical to the psychomotor and rewarding properties of the drug. DA signaling regulates …

Manipulation of neuronal activity during the early postnatal period in monkeys has been
largely limited to permanent lesion studies, which can be impacted by developmental …

The combination of chemogenetics targeting specific brain cell populations with in vivo
imaging techniques provides scientists with a powerful new tool to study functional neural …

Cocaine is a highly addictive stimulant which immensely raises dopamine levels in brain
areas controlling motor and reward functions. Dopamine signaling is controlled by the five …

Interoception refers to the process by which the nervous system senses and integrates
signals originating from within the body [1]. The vagus nerve is a critical neural pathway for …

The vagus nerve is a critical neural pathway for conveying information about the internal
