#JNeurosci | Taniguchi, Goodpaster et al. found structural and functional differences between sexes in a reward-related brain pathway—a pathway that previous research showed is affected by early life adversity in males but not females.

New lab paper drop, this one has been a long time coming! Driven by Rob Aukema (now a postdoc with Kerry Ressler) this paper in Science Advances answered the lingering question of what role the amygdala plays in stress-induced neuroendocrine responses.
