Dynorphin Modulates Reward-Seeking Actions Through a Pallido-Amygdala Cholinergic Circuit

Dynorphin is an endogenous opioid peptide that primarily acts through κ-opioid receptors (KOR) and is widely involved in the regulation of various behaviors, including reward and aversive responses. However, the specific mechanisms of Dynorphin/KOR signaling in reward-seeking behaviors remain unclear. Previous research has predominantly focused on ...

Comprehensive Evaluation of Pipelines for Classification of Psychiatric Disorders Using Multi-Site Resting-State fMRI Datasets

Comprehensive Evaluation of Pipelines for Classification of Psychiatric Disorders Using Multi-Site Resting-State fMRI Datasets

Background Introduction The field of psychiatry has long relied on symptoms and medical interviews for diagnosis, lacking objective biomarkers. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is widely believed to reveal characteristic patterns of brain structure and function, thereby providing potential classification markers for the...
