    Disruption of the CRF1 receptor eliminates morphine-induced sociability deficits and firing of oxytocinergic neurons in male mice

    Alessandro Piccin, Anne-Emilie Allain ... Angelo Contarino
    Both genetic and pharmacological studies reveal an essential role for the CRF1 receptor in social behavior deficits induced by a single morphine administration in male, but not in female, mice.

    Microbiota from young mice counteracts susceptibility to age-related gout through modulating butyric acid levels in aged mice

    Ning Song, Hang Gao ... Wenlong Zhang
    Gut microbiota from young mice can alleviate gout and hyperuricemia in aged mice, further revealing that the metabolic product butyrate derived from the gut microbiota exerts similar therapeutic effects.

    Dendritic growth and synaptic organization from activity-independent cues and local activity-dependent plasticity

    Jan H Kirchner, Lucas Euler ... Julijana Gjorgjieva
    A mechanistic model based on the interaction of activity-independent cues from potential synaptic partners and local activity-dependent synaptic plasticity generates growing dendritic morphologies and non-random synaptic organization during development.
