Opioid-driven disruption of the septum reveals a role for neurotensin-expressing neurons in withdrawal

Opioid withdrawal produces a dysphoric state that can lead to relapse. Simon et al. reveal that lateral septal neurotensin-expressing neurons are selectively activated by naloxone and drive changes in...

Energy state guides reward seeking via an extended amygdala to lateral hypothalamus pathway - Nature Communications

The lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) mediates reward seeking. Here, the authors show how LHA afferent connections promote reward seeking by shaping synaptic strength according to energy state, processe...
