The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has emerged as a central integrator linking the
perception of external and internal stimuli to distinct neurophysiological and behavioural …

Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are amongst the most ubiquitous signaling molecules in the
nervous system. Over the past few decades, observations based on a large volume of work …

Astrocytes take up glucose from the bloodstream to provide energy to the brain, thereby
allowing neuronal activity and behavioural responses,,,–. By contrast, astrocytes are under …

Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) regulate the rewarding actions of
nicotine contained in tobacco that establish and maintain the smoking habit. nAChRs also …

Anxiety-related disorders can be treated by cognitive therapies and transcranial magnetic
stimulation, which involve the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Subregions of the mPFC …

Over the last decade, the understanding of the habenula has rapidly advanced from being
an understudied brain area with the Latin name 'habena” meaning “little rein”, to being …

Bidirectional communication between neurons and astrocytes shapes synaptic plasticity and
behavior. D-serine is a necessary co-agonist of synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors …

In mice and humans, sleep quantity is governed by genetic factors and exhibits age-
dependent variation,–. However, the core molecular pathways and effector mechanisms that …

Despite the exponential increase in fear research during the last years, few studies have
included female subjects in their design. The need to include females arises from the …

The lateral habenula (LHb) is an epithalamic brain structure critical for processing and
adapting to negative action outcomes. However, despite the importance of LHb to behavior …
