Whilst there are numerous transgenic mouse lines, rat lines are sparse. Now, we can target PKCdelta neurons in rats too! Our paper on the generation and characterisation of the PKCdelta-cre knock-in rat in JNeurosci @SfNJournals.
#JNeurosci: Toivainen, Petrella et al. generated and characterized a novel PKCδ-Cre knock-in rat model that offers novel opportunities for functional studies of PKCδ-expressing neurons in behaviors relevant to human conditions. @liu_universitet.

How do opioids promote addiction? The recent article from the lab of @LUSCHERC in @Nature beautifully delineates distinct µ-opioid neuronal ensembles mediating reward and relief from fentanyl withdrawal in mice. @mipetrella @NatureNV.
Two core aspects of fentanyl addiction — reward and relief from withdrawal — are mediated by distinct populations of neurons in the brain. @Heilig_Lab explains the importance of this finding amid the opioid crisis.
