  Structural basis of agonist specificity of α_1A-adrenergic receptor

  α1-adrenergic receptors (α1- AR) play critical roles in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Here, the authors report molecular insights into the mechanisms underlying the discrimination between α1A-AR and α1B-AR by the agonist A61603.

  Stress experience and hormone feedback tune distinct components of hypothalamic CRH neuron activity

  Stress activates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons in the hypothalamus, but how their activity is regulated during and after stress is unclear. Here, the authors show that stress habituation and corticosteroid feedback tune different components of CRH neuron activity.
