What it is
Single-cell RNA-seqGene activity measured in thousands of individual cells, so cell types can be told apart. Read from the summary: GEO's own type field only says 'expression profiling by sequencing', so confirm it in the paper.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
190 samples: 24 conditions, mostly with about 8 replicates eachGroups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.
Paper
Distinct mechanisms of transcriptomic habituation to repeated stress in the mouse hippocampusNature communications · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
We explore how the tightly regulated molecular response triggered by acute restraint stress becomes altered after repeated restraint exposure. Transcriptomic sampling of the mouse hippocampus at multiple time points revealed that repeated stress leads to widespread habituation, damping stress-induced gene expression of all stress-responsive genes.
Read the full summary ↓
However, we find no evidence for the emergence of new response profiles or alterations in baseline gene expression. Using single-cell multi-omics, we show that these findings hold true across cell types, and we reveal cell type specific patterns of habituation. Transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles identify two distinct mechanisms that contribute to the observed habituation patterns: an early cAMP-associated mechanism that is related to blunted transcription after chronic stress, and a late corticosterone-dependent mechanism that is linked to a shortened transcriptional response.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE292224_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1237611 and SRA study SRP571299. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 190 samples.

How we read this: 24 replicated groups read from 190 sample titles; they account for 190 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
