Large-Scale Brain Network Dynamics Provide a Measure of Psychosis and Anxiety in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Daniela

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Marie Schaer, Fikret Isik Karahanoglu

BACKGROUND: Prodromal positive psychotic symptoms and anxiety are two strong risk factors for schizophrenia in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). The analysis of large-scale brain network dynamics during rest is promising to investigate aberrant brain fu ...

Reactivation of Recall-Induced Neurons in the Infralimbic Cortex and the Basolateral Amygdala After Remote Fear Memory Attenuation

Johannes Gräff, Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Whether the attenuation of traumatic memories is mediated through the suppression of the original memory trace of fear by a new memory trace of safety, or through an updating of the original fear trace towards safety has been a long-standing question at th ...

Neurobiological links between stress and anxiety

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Stress and anxiety have intertwined behavioral and neural underpinnings. These commonalities are critical for understanding each state, as well as their mutual interactions. Grasping the mechanisms underlying this bidirectional relationship will have major ...

RETRACTED: Insular cortex processes aversive somatosensory information and is crucial for threat learning

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Wei Tang, Denys Osypenko, Michael Kintscher, Shriya Palchaudhuri, Emmanuelle Marie Brigitte Berret

Learning about threats is essential for survival. During threat learning, an innocuous sensory percept such as a tone acquires an emotional meaning when paired with an aversive stimulus such as a mild footshock. The amygdala is critical for threat memory f ...

The dopaminergic VTA - basal amygdala projection contributes to signal aversive state in fear memory

Wei Tang

Dopamine released from midbrain neurons is an important neuromodulatory signal during associative learning in many forebrain circuits. One model of associative learning is auditory cued fear learning, during which an innocuous sensory percept like a tone ( ...

Increased brain glucocorticoid actions following social defeat in rats facilitates the long-term establishment of social subordination

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Meltem Weger

Social rank is frequently established through aggressive encounters between new conspecifics. Despite increasing evidence suggesting that social rank is critical for the well-being of both humans and animals, knowledge about the factors influencing social ...

Amygdala GluN2B-NMDAR dysfunction is critical in abnormal aggression of neurodevelopmental origin induced by St8sia2 deficiency

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Graham Knott, Johannes Gräff, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Catherine Maclachlan, Simone Astori, Wei Tang, Bianca Ambrogina Silva, Elias Georges Gebara, Alexandre Claude Gustave Bacq

Aggression is frequently observed in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, autism, and bipolar disorder. Due to a lack of understanding of its underlying mechanisms, effective treatments for abnormal aggression are still missing. ...

Stress, glucocorticoid receptor and social behaviors

Aurélie Lattion

Peripuberty, comprising childhood and adolescence, constitutes an important time window in the brain development and maturation. Exposure to prolonged stress during this period has been shown to increase the risk for the development of psychopathologies la ...

Pansynaptic Enlargement at Adult Cortical Connections Strengthened by Experience

Graham Knott

Behavioral experience alters the strength of neuronal connections in adult neocortex. These changes in synaptic strength are thought to be central to experience-dependent plasticity, learning, and memory. However, it is not known how changes in synaptic tr ...

Isoform switching of steroid receptor co-activator-1 attenuates glucocorticoid-induced anxiogenic amygdala CRH expression

Maladaptive glucocorticoid effects contribute to stress-related psychopathology. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) that mediates many of these effects uses multiple signaling pathways. We have tested the hypothesis that manipulation of downstream factors (' ...
