TL;DR

It is demonstrated that S1R is involved in METH-induced behavioral sensitization and that SOMCL-668 could be a potential therapeutic agent for drug addiction.

PT320, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mitigates nucleus accumbens–associated depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in MitoPark mice of Parkinson's disease

By restoring neurotrophic signaling and dopaminergic function, PT320 represents a promising therapeutic strategy for PD-related anxiety and depression by restoring neurotrophic signaling and dopaminergic function in the nucleus accumbens.

Role of β‑Arrestin2 Signaling in Neuropharmacological Effects of Psychedelic Drugs

The data suggest a role for the β-arrestin2 pathway in psychedelic drug-evoked dendritogenesis of cultured neurons, and this pathway unlikely mediates the hallucinogenic effects of psychedelic drugs but may contribute to neural plasticity changes in certain models.

Activation of sigma non-opioid intracellular receptor 1 (S1R) receptor inhibits plexin domain containing 2 (Plxdc2) driven microglial inflammation to ameliorate depressive-like behaviours in mice.

Analysis demonstrated that overexpressing Plxdc2 in mPFC microglia activated the JAK2-STAT1 pathway, enhanced NLG, shifting microglia towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype, worsening deficits in synaptic plasticity and induced depressive-like behaviour, which was reversible by the NLG inhibitor tunicamycin.

NDP-MSH rescues LPS-induced neuroinflammation, synaptic deficits, and depressive-like behaviors in mice: involvement of MC1R–cAMP/PKA signaling

MC1R-related signaling in the PFC is highlighted as an important contributor to inflammation-associated depression and NDP-MSH alleviates inflammation-associated depressive-like behaviors in association with melanocortin signaling involving MC1R and downstream cAMP/PKA activation.
