I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

morals of this story:
- these rats are great!
- we would have missed many of these findings if we only looked at group averages. AUDs aren't homogenous and our preclinical models aren't either
- including females is important
- separating PFC subregions is important!
