The article, “Goal/Sign-Tracking Phenotype Reveals Associations between Behavior and Microbiome in a Sex-Dependent Manner in the Rat,” has been accepted for publication in EBioMedicine. Dr. John Cryan and Dr. Abraham Palmer are co-authors along with Veronica Peterson, Jerry Richards, Raul Cabrerarubio, Oksana Polesskaya, Apurva Chitre, A. Baud, Fiona Crispie, Ted Dinan, Christopher King, Jordan Tripi, Thomaz Bastiaanssen, and Paul Meyer.

The article, “Genomic Basis of Delayed Reward Discounting,” has been accepted for publication in Behavioural Processes. Dr. Abraham Palmer and Dr. Sandra Sanchez-Roige are co-authors along with Joshua Gray, James MacKillop, and Harriet de Wit.

Highlights from the paper:
• Delayed reward discounting (DRD) is a measure of capacity to delay gratification.

• DRD is moderately heritable and associated with mental, physical, and social outcomes.

• DRD is a component of Research Domain Criteria and a putative target for treatment.

• The largest GWAS to date yielded a SNP heritability of 12% and one significant
