What's wrong with my experiment?: The impact of hidden variables on neuropsychopharmacology research

Hanna M. Butler-Struben et al.

Summary: Behavioral assays in neuropsychopharmacology are crucial for understanding mental illness and substance use disorders. However, hidden environmental factors that are often overlooked can significantly impact the results, suggesting the need for better reporting and consideration of these variables.

Specificity in sociogenomics: Identifying causal relationships between genes and behavior

Jenelys Ruiz-Ortiz et al.

Summary: Transcriptomic analysis has rapidly developed in studying the interplay between gene expression and behavior, but establishing a causal relationship between genes and behavior remains challenging. Single cell technologies and methods providing spatial and connectivity information offer new possibilities in understanding the genetic profile of specific cells involved in target social behaviors. These techniques are not only broadly adaptable to non-traditional model organisms, but a combination of them applied throughout development will be crucial in discerning how genes shape the formation of social behavior circuits.

Striatal RGS7 Regulates Depression-Related Behaviors and Stress-Induced Reinstatement of Cocaine Conditioned Place Preference

Laurie P. Sutton et al.

Summary: The study investigates the role of striatal Rgs proteins in depressive-like and reward-related behaviors in male mice. It suggests that elimination of Rgs7 in striatal neurons leads to anxiolytic-like and antidepressant-like phenotype, while knockout of abundant Rgs9 in the same neuronal population does not affect the behavioral outcome in depressive-like tests. Additionally, loss of striatal Rgs7 makes mice resilient to stress-induced but not drug-induced reinstatement of cocaine CPP.

Sex differences in anxiety and depression: circuits and mechanisms

Debra A. Bangasser et al.

Summary: Male-dominated preclinical studies on anxiety and depression are being addressed to include females, leading to the discovery of new mechanisms and treatment targets. Epidemiological sex differences in these disorders are well-known, but the underlying circuits and mechanisms contributing to these differences still lack attention due to historical exclusion of females in research. Comparing the sexes may help in the discovery of novel therapeutics.
