In mice, MCH11 reduced alcohol intake and anxiety during withdrawal without impairing motor or cognitive function.
Results also reveal sex-dependent differences: males respond to low/medium doses, while females require higher doses for comparable effects.

Researchers at NeuroAlc have shown that MCH11 targets the endocannabinoid system, increasing 2-AG levels in the brain and restoring circuits involved in motivation, stress, and reward, reducing alcohol intake and withdrawal-related anxiety in mice.

The superior colliculus acts as a biological radar: it receives direct retinal input and, before information reaches cortex, selects the most relevant stimuli. When something moves, flashes or appears, it is the first to respond and orient our gaze.

Using patterned optogenetics, electrophysiology and computational modelling, the team shows that the superior colliculus generates center–surround interactions, a key computation that enhances contrast and visual saliency.
➡️ In short: this ancient structure selects what matters.
