Journal ArticleDOI

Prenatal choline supplementation mitigates behavioral alterations associated with prenatal alcohol exposure in rats

TL;DR: Data indicate that choline supplementation during prenatal alcohol exposure may reduce the severity of fetal alcohol effects, particularly on alterations in tasks that require behavioral flexibility, which have important implications for children of women who drink alcohol during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of perinatal choline supplementation on hippocampal cholinergic development in rats exposed to alcohol during the brain growth spurt

TL;DR: The data suggest that developmental alcohol exposure can cause long‐lasting changes in the hippocampal cholinergic system and that perinatal choline supplementation may attenuate alcohol‐related behavioral changes by influencing cholinerential systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

A neural pathway controlling motivation to exert effort

TL;DR: It is shown that one major lateral habenula output pathway controls the motivation to exert effort in both aversive and appetitive contexts, and this pathway may contribute to the reduced motivation in depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress transforms lateral habenula reward responses into punishment signals.

TL;DR: It is found that acute stress transforms LHb reward responses into punishment- like neural signals; punishment-like responses to reward omission also increase, which potentially explain why an individual under stress is more prone to depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of PKC disrupts addiction-related memory.

TL;DR: A novel, critical role for the atypical PKC isoforms in nonassociative memory and cocaine addiction is demonstrated and a single application of ZIP was shown to reduce membrane-bound AMPAR expression.
