Repeated Neuronal Stimulation Triggered Cyclin B-Linked Nuclear Reprogramming in Mice

TL;DR: A 2026 mouse study in Nature Communications reported that 10 daily bouts of optogenetic dentate-gyrus stimulation produced weeks-long changes in chromatin, nuclear structure, behavior, and spatial coding, while Cyclin B deletion weakened several effects…

Environmental Enrichment Reversed Stress-Linked Visceral Pain Through CB1 Receptors

TL;DR: A study in Communications Biology found that environmental enrichment, richer housing with objects, running space, and novelty, reduced early-life-stress-linked visceral pain and depression-like behavior in rats while normalizing a CB1 receptor-sensitiv…
